Spiritist Education for

Children and Youth

What is accomplished in the area of children and youth under the name of Spiritist Education is the dissemination of the Spiritist knowledge and the moral teachings given by Jesus, who was appointed by the Superiors Spirits that worked on the codification, as a model of perfection for the whole Humanity. (Kardec, Allan. The Spirits' Book. Q. 625).

Importance of Spiritist Education for Children and Youth

The Spiritist Education for Children and Youth is the best way for the Spiritist Center to accomplish one of Spiritism’s main purposes: to transform everyone into good human beings. Today’s children and youth will be tomorrow’s adults. We can’t deny them education on the light of Jesus’ Gospel.

How do the spirits perceive Spiritist Education activities at the spiritist centres?

Spiritism without moral improvement, without moral

education, is just like a temple without a light.

The Spiritist Center aware of its mission should make every effort not only to the creation of the Spiritist

Education for Children and Youth, but also for its full operation, considering its importance regarding the moral preparation of the new generations and the preparation of future practitioners of the Spiritist Center and the Spiritist

Movement.
