There is no
mistake in the Census 2010
Contrary to the information
released on the internet by
many contributors and
readers of this magazine,
please note that the IBGE
did not make a mistake when
setting the rules for the
census which is being
carried out in Brazil since
early August. This is the
theme of this week’s
editorial entitled The IBGE
was right; we have jumped to
conclusions.
The main highlight of this
edition is the interview
conceded by our confrere
Marcelo Henrique Pereira,
from Florianópolis-SC, to
our colleague Antonio
Nascimento. Marcelo manages
the
Associação Brasileira de
Divulgadores do Espiritismo
(Association of
Brazilian Spiritist
Disseminators), during the
interview he talks about his
career in the Spiritist
movement and analyzes the
work of disseminating the
Spiritist Doctrine in our
country.
Another highlight is the
special entitled "Metaneurologia
- A Spiritual Vision of the
Brain," written by our
confrere Nubor Facure
Orlando, from Campinas (SP).
The study was divided into
two partes, the first part
was published last week.
A survey conducted by
organizations Candeia, which
was published in 2000,
about the best spiritist
books published in the 20th
century has appointed "Nosso
Lar" ("The Astral City"), by
Andre Luiz, as the best
book. The full article is
part of this edition and one
of its highlights.

On August 15th, two major
events have happened in
Brazil.
In 1905, it was founded The
Clarim Publishing House,
based in Matão-SP, created
by Cairbar de Souza Schutel.
The publishing house edits
the newspaper O Clarim
(since 1905) and the
International Magazine of
Spiritism (since 1925),
two of the most important
spiritist journals that
exist in the world.
The other one was the
foundation of
The Mansion of the Way
, in 1952, a social work
which has provided housing,
education, and care for
children. It is located in
Salvador, Bahia, and was
created by the confreres
Divaldo Franco and his
cousin Nilson de Souza
Pereira. The Mansion
is one of the most important
philanthropic institutions
existing in Brazil.
