Congress held in Lisbon celebrates 165 years of Revue Spirite


In celebration of the 165th anniversary of Revue Spirite, a periodical founded by Allan Kardec on January 1, 1858, the Portuguese Spiritist Federation held an important event on the 18th and 19th of this month that brought together speakers and scholars from several countries. With the theme “Spiritism and social renewal” and reflections based on the honored work, the Congress featured lectures, cultural moment and debate tables, as shown in a special article signed by José Lucas.


In times of fake news, being careful with what we post or broadcast on the internet is of great importance. This warning is part of the interview given to us by Marco Antonio Mazzeu, from Sociedade Espírita Kardecista O Consolador, from Araraquara (SP), in which he participates as a collaborator in the activities carried out there. The interview is one of the highlights of this issue.


Another highlight is the Special “The Proof of Wealth”, by Juan Carlos Orozco, from Brasília (DF), who reminds us, in his article, that poverty and wealth are neither punishment nor reward, but only evidence that the Spirits, in their evolutionary process, they must face in their passage through reincarnation on planet Earth, which Spiritism classifies as a world of trials and atonement.
