A chat with Valdereis Lopes Teixeira de Godoy

This week’s editorial, An example of what we should not do, talks about an incident that occurred last January in the city of Maringá-PR when eleven high school students were arrested for attempted fraud during the admission exams for the Medical Center at the University of Maringá. 

Valdereis Lopes Teixeira de Godoy, from Ibitinga-SP, is our interview of the week. Retired teacher, member of the Francis of Assisi Love and Charity Spiritist Center and various other institutions in the city, she talks about the spiritist movement in Ibitinga, known as the National Capital of Embroidery. The interview is one of the highlights of this edition. 

Another highlight is the special article entitled Vices: Instruments of Darkness, written by our colleague Gebaldo José de Sousa, which emphasises the educational and moralizing effect which the Spiritist Doctrine can have on families, especially on the youth, with a view to overcoming vices overall. 

On March 25-27, Divaldo Franco was present in doctrinal activities in three cities in Santa Catarina, as shown in the report by Paul Salerno, which is also one of the highlights of this edition.
