History
The SEI bulletin, whose first issue was published in May 1965, is a communication's
tool created for the purpose of disseminating the Spiritist Doctrine. Along
the way, through successive graphics transformations, its circulation progressively
increased. Jaime Rolemberg de Lima, its creator and founder, also a member
of CAPEMI, the Lar Fabiano de Cristo and CAVADI – Casa do Velho Assistencial
e Divulgadora [Home of Assistance to the Elderly], perceived that this publication
could cross over borders, and thus the international editions came to light
in bi-monthly issues. The first SEI Bulletin in Esperanto, the International
Language, was launched in July/August 1981, followed by the Spanish edition
in April/May 1990, and the English in March/April 1994.
The SEI Bulletin in Portuguese is sent to several countries, currently numbering
close to 33, where Brazilians disseminate the Spiritist Doctrine. The Bulletin's
circulation inside Brazil is weekly, and monthly abroad.
Currently the issue in Esperanto, also sent to samideanoj of Brazil, reaches
one hundred countries, while the Bulletin in Spanish goes to over 27 countries.
The SEI English edition is sent to the United States Spiritist Council (P.O.
Box 14026 – 20044-4026 – Washington, D.C. – USA), responsible
for its distribution.
