In Brazil, there’s the understanding that politics, soccer and religion aren’t subjects to be discussed. Would such thinking be true? This is the subject of this week’s editorial, entitled Is it possible to discuss soccer, politics and religion?

One of the highlights this week is the interview conceded to the journalist Katia Fabiana Fernandes by the confrere Manuel Portasio, rooted in London. The Spiritist scholar and speaker, born in São Paulo, who lives in the capital of the United Kingdom since 2005, talks about the English Spiritist Movement and other several doctrinal matters.

Another highlight in this issue is the conclusion of the special report written by the confrere Francisco Rebouças, from Niteroi (state of Rio de Janeiro), regarding the moral influence of the medium during the communications.

One more Training Course for Spiritist Educators of Children took place last Sunday 21st in Sao Paulo (state of Sao Paulo), as shows the special report by Martha Rios Guimarães, which is also a highlight in this edition.

Finally, two great news.  

Next week, we’ll start the Systematized Study of the New Testament, covering the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts of Apostles. The study will replace the Systematized Study of the Spiritist Doctrine, which has reached its last lesson today.
