Letter to the reader

Year 16 - 805 - January 8, 2023

The spiritist movement cannot be oblivious to social problems


The sentence above, authored by the late writer and journalist Deolindo Amorim, taken from one of his most important books, is expressly mentioned in the special in which our collaborator Ricardo Baesso de Oliveira, a physician residing in Juiz de Fora (MG) and member of the Editorial of this journal, examines the influence of social factors on human problems. The article is one of the highlights of this issue.


Another highlight is the interview given to us by the spiritist leader from São Paulo Ivando Xavier Coutinho, from Jundiaí (SP), the city where he was born and where he participates in two spiritist centers – the Nova Luz Spiritist Center and the José Herculano Pires Spiritist Center. In the first, he acts as director of mediumship meetings and in the second, he currently holds the position of President of the Executive Board.


On this date, Lar Fabiano de Cristo, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), completes 65 years of existence. It was founded on January 8, 1958, the institution's patron is Fabiano de Cristo, a religious from the Order of Friars Minor, Portuguese by origin, who came to Brazil very young and whose religious life, dedicated to the poor and sick, took place in Rio, as shown in a special article by Ana Moraes.
