The president of the
American Spiritist Council
speaks
to the magazine
Many people, even the
spiritists, think that
everything that happens in
marriage was predetermined
and that there is no space
for unplanned events, since
the spirits program their
reincarnation and the main
experiences they will face
in the new life. This is the
topic of this week’s
editorial entitled
Marriage, fate and free will.
Amongst the highlights of
this edition, we would like
to call the reader’s
attention to the interview
conceded by our colleague
Maurício Cisneiros Filho,
who is the president of the
United States Spiritist
Council and has been living
in the US since 1988.
Maurício speaks about the
spiritist movement in the
US, which was, in 1848, the
scenary of some mediumistic
phenomena that formed the
basis for the modern
spiritism.
Another highlight of this
edition is special in which
Marcos Paulo de Oliveira
Santos, from the Federal
District, addresses the
issue of meat consumption,
what Emmanuel, in his book
The Comforter,
considers to be a serious
mistake. The article was
split into two parts: the
conclusion will be published
in our next edition.
The USE, institution that
coordinates the spiritist
movement in Sao Paulo, has
promoted last Sunday a new
training course for child
evangelism teachers, as
shown in the article written
by Martha Rios Guimarães,
which is also one of the
highlights of this edition.

the small village of

which gave rise to modern
Spiritism.
