The importance of educating children for a better world


Cátia Lopes Ribeiro, from São Paulo, now based in São Bernardo do Campo, in the ABC region of São Paulo, is our interviewee. Graduated in Letters, with a specialization in Children's Literature, she works in the area of children's evangelization at the João Ramalho Fraternity Group. About this activity, she reminds us of the importance of educating children so that we can have a better world. The interview is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the Special by our collaborator Martha Capelotto, entitled “The Spiritist Doctrine as an educator of the Spirit”. In the article, she makes valuable considerations about the content of the introduction that the late and well-known writer José Herculano Pires wrote and it is part of the special commemorative edition of the centenary of "Spirit´s Book", published by LAKE on April 18, 1957.

On a day like today – May 22nd – Arthur Conan Doyle, physician, writer and creator of the character Sherlock Holmes, whose adventures are read with interest to this day, was born in the year 1859 in Edinburgh (Scotland). A Spiritist since the age of 28, he was a great promoter of Spiritism and author of the works “History of Spiritism” and “New Revelation”, as stated by Thiago Bernardes in an article published in this issue.
