Presentation
___________________________________________________________
The 1st National Meeting of Spiritist Evangelizers that happened in 2018 in the city of Guarapari (ES) later served as inspiration for the 1st North American Meeting of Spiritist Evangelizers in 2020. The idea was to bring together Spiritist workers of the Child and Youth Evangelization field in Montréal. The event planned to take place between May 29-31 of that year did not come true due to the pandemic that hit the world a few weeks before the event.
Three years later and after some adaptations were made, we are happy to report that the North American Meeting of Spiritist Evangelizers 2023 will finally take place. Between October 13 and 15, we will unite our hearts around the theme of Spiritist education of children and young people. This time, the event will be held virtually.
Following the proposal of the national meeting in Brazil, we also believe that evangelizing children, young people, and the whole family is a mission to be renewed and made more concrete in several countries. With the celebration of 40 years of the Permanent Campaign for Spiritist Child and Youth Evangelization at the national level in 2018, we entered a phase of expansion of this campaign at the international level. We are many Spiritist evangelizers spreading their missions in different countries. The time has come to join efforts on different continents to amplify our mission to educate and disseminate science, religion, and Spiritist philosophy.
We put ourselves together in the dream that was launched by the National Meeting in Brazil when they stated that "a vast and fertile field lies ahead, inviting us to continuous improvement", mainly seeking to be the "sowers of the New Age (...)".
