The Chair of Christian Thought at the University of Calgary presents The Bentall Lectures in Christian Theology Multiple Religious Adherence & Boundary Crossing in Brazil A wide variety of religions are active in Brazil, including traditional, Charismatic and popular Catholicism; historical, evangelical and Pentecostal Protestant denominations; Kardecist Spiritism and Umbanda; Afro-Brazilian traditions; Judaism and Islam; various Buddhisms and Japanese religions; and a wide variety of New Religious Movements. This presentation offers a brief overview of these religious paths in light of the fact that Brazilians have a high incidence of syncretism (mixing religions) and of multiple adherence (belonging to more than one religion).

When you become detached mentally from yourself and concentrate on helping other people with their difficulties, you will be able to cope with your own more effectively. Somehow, the act of self-giving is a personal power-releasing factor.
