The bible gives us plenty evidence about the mediumnistic phenomena
 

We occasionally hear statements like this: “Nobody has ever come back to tell if life goes on”. It is understandable if such affirmative comes from a non Christian person, but irrelevant if it comes from people who accept and believe in the New Testament. Moreover, the New Testament describes in detail the passage when Jesus returned to his disciples after his death at Golgotha. It also describes the visit Moses and Elijah, who came to comfort him, paid to Jesus moments before his arrest. This is the theme of this week’s editorial entitled The dead have brought and still bring news from Beyond. 

One of the highlights of this week is the interview conceded by the confreres Marilda Pereira Bellini and Adriana Mara Freitas Ritti, from Juiz de Fora (MG), to our colleague Orson Peter Carrara. During the interview they speak about the spiritist movement in their hometown as well as about the origin of the Spiritist Centre Ivon Costa  and its operation.  

Another highlight of this issue is the special from Paulo Neto about the spiritist phenomena. In this article, which has been split into two parts, the confrere reminds us that mediumship is not restricted to psychographics and that the Bible gives us evidence of the mediumnistic phenomena, if we study it  carefully. The conclusion of the article will be published next week. 

Between September 4th and 7th, it was held in the Hotel Vila Gale Mares, Guarajuba beach (BA), A Fraternal Meeting with Divaldo Franco, as shown in the report written by Paulo Salerno, which is also one of the highlights of this edition.

Last Friday, September 17th, it was celebrated another anniversary of foundation of the “Grupo Familiar de Espiritismo”, which is considered the first spiritist association that emerged in the country. It was founded in 1865. The journalist Louis Olimpio Teles de Menezes used to lead the group (Bahia, 1828 - Rio de Janeiro, March 16, 1893).
