websites. This

O Consolador:
Since when has
the site being
online? How did
the idea of
disclosing
spiritist ideas
came up?
|
|
Since 2000 we
have been
working on it. I
thought at the
time that since
everything was
heading online,
it would be
great to have a
tool to disclose
Spiritism. This
could hit people
who sympathise
with our cause,
but might be
scared of going
to the Spiritist
centres.
