Spiritism is a modern Christian denomination based in spirit communication and also in five books written in the 19th century under the pen name Allan Kardek. Together Kardek’s books are known as The Spiritist Codification. Although he was French, Spiritism took particular root in Brazil, and it is now growing in the United States and elsewhere. Jussara Korngold is a third-generatio Brazilian spiritist, and one of the founders and directors of the Spiritist Group of New York, based in Manhattan. Here she introduces us to the religion to which she is giving her life.
