A chat with José Eduardo Rocha Pereira

“Woman, the guardian of home and family” is the title of our editorial, which are made considerations around the article of Altamirando Carneiro titled The Spirit’s Book, slavery and the rights between man and woman.

Our interviewee of the week is the confrere José Eduardo Rocha Pereira, vice-president of the Spirit Foundation Américo Bairral and treasurer of Allan Kardec Home of the Rest, in Itapira (SP). In the interview he tells us about his acquaintanceship with Dr. José Carlos Camargo Ferras, one of the exponents through the victorious path of Bairral Institutte.

Altamirando Carneiro is the author of the published especial in this edition, which title says the entire theme by him analyzed: The Spirit’s Book, slavery and the rights between man and woman. It is good to remember that the main spirit work focused on the article appeared at a time slavery were still in Brazil and The United States of America.

On May 27th and 28th Divaldo Franco spoke to a cozy German city Bad Honnef in a seminar which has become traditional in that region in Germany. At around 300 people participated in the event, how it is said by the confrere Ênio Medeiros.
