What is a Spiritist Center
"Our spiritual friends have always taught us to consider Spiritist Centers as the most important School for our soul, because it is in the Spiritist Temple that we receive from others and can give of ourselves the values that will serve each of us for Eternal life." (Emmanuel, Interviews, p. 114-115).
The Evangelical Spiritist Center, however humble it may be, is always a sanctuary for the mental renewal of higher life, therefore:
IT IS A SCHOOL – Where we can learn and teach, sow good and reap its graces, improve ourselves and perfect others on the eternal path. Emmanuel (various authors, school of light, 2nd ed., p. 90).
IT IS A SPIRITIST TEMPLE – It is not simply a construction of material nature. It is a point on the planet where reasoned faith studies universal laws, especially those concerning consciousness and justice, the building of destiny, and the immortality of being. (Emmanuel and André Luiz, study and live, 6th ed., p.206).
IT IS A SCHOOL – Where the laws of Being, Destiny, Evolution, and the Universe are clearly examined, shedding light and providing guidance, therefore, it should not become an institute of mere academic concern. (Emmanuel and André Luiz, study and live, 6th ed., p.222).
IT IS A CENTER OF ASSISTANCE actively addressing physical hunger, nakedness, pain, multiplying the arms of Jesus in the blessed mission of aid. Djalma Montenegro de Farias (Various Spirits, seedbed of fraternity, 3rd ed., p.324).
IT IS A HOME of human solidarity, where the stronger brothers support the weaker ones and the happier ones are brought under the protection of those who groan under misfortune, thus reviving Christianity.
IT IS A HOSPITAL FOR SOULS – A place of rebalancing and harmony, where specialized therapies – passes, magnetized water (bioenergy), prayer, spirit release, and consciousness illumination – provide health for the body, mind, and Spirit, encouraging the patient to progress, to victory over oneself, over the primitive passions that predominate within. Vianna de Carvalho (reformer, Oct. 1995, p.12).
