It has been 20 years since Barbara Ivanova visited us

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the renowned author of "The Gulag Archipelago," which made an enourmous success in the west, has said that it was necessary to bring God back to human concerns, both in politics and in cultural and social field. This is the theme of this week’s editorial, entitled Has God been lacking in our lives? 

One of the highlights of the week is the interview conceded by the journalist Ângela Moraes, from the city of Bauru (Sao Paulo state) to our colleague Orson Peter Carrara. Angela is the author of the book Answers that life brings, the interviewee talks about her work and highlights the importance of the book The Gospel According to Spiritism, of Kardec, which she often  used to call “ A practical manual to live well”. 

Another highlight of the week is the conclusion of the special from Alexandre Fontes da Fonseca, from Volta Redonda (Rio de Janeiro state), who talked about the doctrinal purity; the first part has been published in the previous edition. 

Last Thursday, the 17th June, it completed 20 years since Barbara Ivanova visited the city of Londrina. Barbara is a famous Russian parapsychologist and psychic who wrote the book "The Golden Cup", as shown in a special report which is also one of the highlights of this edition.

The 16th of June 1871 brings to our minds an important fact: it was the day when Sir William Crookes (London, June 17, 1832 - April 4, 1919), an English chemist and physicist, has presented to  Queen Victoria of England, the  report confirming the veracity of psychic phenomena produced by the medium Florence Cook.
