Here comes the 22nd
Londrina Spiritist Week
This week’s editorial, "Spiritist
Week, an event that requires
the support of all"
describes preparations for
the 22nd Londrina
Spiritist Week, which for
the first time will hold
evening lectures in a large
auditorium outside the
spiritist house.
Maria Túlia Bertoni, current
president of the Spiritist
Federation of Mato Grosso do
Sul, is our interviewee this
Sunday. In the interview,
which is one of the
highlights of this edition,
Maria Túlia talks about the
spiritist movement in her
state and the difficulties
she faces in conducting her
activities. According to
her, the current challenge
is to make "the companions
understand the role of the
Federation."
Another highlight of this
issue is the special article
titled "Violence - A
state of mind?",
authored by our collaborator
Guaraci de Lima Silveira,
from Juiz de Fora-MG.
According to Guaraci,
violence is temporary and
will disappear from this
planet when humankind seeks
the higher principles that
date back to the Heavenly
Father and Creator of all of
us to live together in
harmony and with Him.
"Mental Health under a New
Prism" was the theme of the
III Symposium on Science and
Spirituality of Mato Grosso
do Sul, held May 9th
and 10th in Campo
Grande-MS, as reported by
our collaborator Giovana
Campos. The report is also
one of the highlights of
this edition.

This past Friday marked 130
years since Bezerra de
Menezes, the most important
Brazilian Spiritist figure
of the 19th century, wrote
to his brother communicating
that he had adopted
Spiritism. This occurred on
May 31st, 1883
and produced a huge effect
at that time.
