The theme unification, which is the main subject of the this week’s interview conceded by the confrere Hélio Ribeiro Loureiro to the editor Orson Peter Carrara, deserves careful attention and full support from all of us, as we cannot forget that such a concern has early appeared in the Spiritism Codification, as this week’s editorial remind us, entitled Kardec and the Unification of the Spiritist Movement. 

In the interview, the confrere from Niterói talks about the effort for unification made by the spiritists of Rio de Janeiro, which resulted in beneficial changes in the coordination of the Spiritist Movement in that state. The interview is one of the headlines in the present edition.

Another headline in this number is the special report Spiritist View of the Healings and Passes in the Jewish-Christian Tradition, in which the confrere Jáder Sampaio informs, among other things, that imposition of hands used to be utilized by Jesus very often, although there is no record about passes (hand movements) done by the Master and his apostles. The final part of the article will be published in the next edition of this magazine.

In April, the Italian magazine Chi has dedicated an ample space to the work performed by the Brazilian medium Valdelice Salum, who has already appeared on the Italian TV last year with her pictorial art, as shown in the report by Regina Zanella, which is also a headline in this number.
