A chat with the president of the Fraternity Spiritist Society

This week’s editorial, “Why do we believe that God exists?” explains why we spiritists believe firmly and rationally that God exists, one of the fundamental principles of the spiritist doctrine. 

In an interview to the journalist Katia Fabiana Fernandes, from London, Elisabeth da Silva Stevenson, current president of the Fraternity Spiritist Society, talks about the institution which she chairs, which this month is celebrating 20 years of existence. Born in Londrina-PR, Beth - as she is known - has lived in the British capital since 1990, where she has embraced with love and dedication the spiritist doctrine and works in the dissemination of Spiritism. The interview is one of the highlights of this edition. 

Another highlight this week is the special article called The way of love, written by Leda Maria Flaborea, from São Paulo-SP. In her article, Leda refers to excuses that many use as an escape door to abandon their obligations. 

Occasionally the magazine IstoÉ opens space on its pages to the subject of mediumship, as Ana Moraes shows in a special article which is also one of the highlights of this edition.
