@ 5 pm – Julio Carvalho (Guest speaker)
We are living a very particular time, where social distancing has become the norm in order to preserve ourselves from viral infection. But who are we? How can we take care of our body and our spirit, in order to be really protected from the invasions of infirmity? Join us in this special talk to learn more about the Spiritist perspectives on this subject.
May 16 – The Implications of Rational Faith
@ 5 pm – Julio Padovan (Guess speaker)
What is faith?… and more importantly, what is “rational” faith? When freed from the oppression of misguided political and religious influences, the scientific thought took a repressive stance of its own, banning anything that could be slightly related to the non-physical, the non-measurable. Rather than a philosophical debate, we simply ask whether it is possible to believe earnestly in the non-physical without relinquishing our most precious asset, the ability to reason; and how constructive reasoning may be in our daily lives.
May 23 – On the Way to the Light
@ 5 pm – Alba Morales
Alba Morales will bring high lights of this book in which the spirit author Emmanuel narrates the history of the spiritual journey of human civilization from the perspective of Spiritism, “showing the true position of the Gospel of Christ in the light of earth’s religions and philosophies.
