The Brazilian Spiritist Federation (FEB), founded in 1884, is a public utility body[1] that constitutes the most important and influential representative organization of Spiritism in Brazil and in nearly all countries where the Spiritist movement is present.[2][3]
Through notable Spiritist leaders, especially Bezerra de Menezes, the Brazilian Spiritist Federation quickly established the format of Spiritism as a religion in Brazil.[3][4] In various countries, the federation provides extensive support to mediums, speakers, and other Spiritist organizations, publishes and translates books on the subject, and promotes charitable actions.[2] The FEB is the representative association of Brazil in the International Spiritist Council (CEI).
According to data from 2006, the FEB provided philanthropic social assistance to approximately a thousand families and maintained a daycare center for 800 children in Santo Antônio do Descoberto, Goiás.[5] The FEB has published over 10 million books by Allan Kardec. The works psychographed by the mediumship of Francisco Cândido Xavier, better known as Chico Xavier, have surpassed 15.5 million copies. Among them, Nosso Lar (dictated by the spirit André Luiz) is the most read, having surpassed the mark of 1.5 million copies.
