Charity is
the remedy for the ills of
the spirit
The above sentence is
authored by our interviewee,
Sandro Drumond Brandão, from
Belo Horizonte (MG).
Graduated in Law and
Attorney of the State of
Minas Gerais, he
participates, in the
spiritist affairs, of the
Centro Espírita Cristão
Santo Agostinho, whose work
of assistance to the
homeless is one of the
subjects discussed in his
interview, one of the
highlights of this edition.
Another highlight is the
Special “Obsession: the
experience of Edith Fiore”,
by Ricardo Baesso de
Oliveira, member of the
Editorial Board and
columnist for our magazine.
He is a physician, who lives
in Juiz de Fora (MG). In the
article, he makes
considerations about the
psychotherapeutic practice
exercised by the American
psychologist Edith Fiore.
Yesterday, the 17th, was
another anniversary of the
foundation in Salvador (BA)
of the first spiritist
society that emerged in
Brazil, the Grupo Familiar
do Espiritismo, created on
September 17, 1865 by Luís
Olímpio Teles de Menezes and
a group of friends, as shown
by Thiago Bernardes in a
special article published in
this issue.
