About Us
Joanna de Angelis Spiritist Study Group (JASSG) is an organization
founded in 1996 and incorporated by the Province of Ontario in 2004.
Our mission
Joanna de Angelis Spiritist Study Group (JASSG) is a non-profit
organization. JASSG’s mission is to disseminate the Christian
Spiritism in the Toronto area, Canada, according to the principles
codified by Allan Kardec. This dissemination is done through the
study and practice of Spiritism in its triple aspects: philosophical,
scientific and religious. It is also accomplished by the offering
of services for emotional and spiritual support, passes, personal
and community development.
General objectives
To disseminate the study and practice of the Spiritism codified
by Allan Kardec in its triple aspect: philosophic, scientific
and religious.
Specific Objectives
- Train volunteer-workers in order to disseminate Spiritism in
a realistic and safe manner; respecting ethnical, religious and
cultural diversities;
- Promote community development and humanitarian activities in
the light of Spiritism.
Metodology
JASSG seeks to develop a Participatory Methodology*
in its administration and management of its activities, as well
as in the study groups. Respect to the rhythms and styles of learning,
different levels of knowledge and individual availability are
the principles that guide the development of its actions.
Following these guidelines, the time invested training volunteer-workers
can be (or not) a long-term process. This strategy is supported
by Hermínio C. Miranda in his book Diálogo com
as Sombras (page 32), where he writes: “Despite
the nature of work – study, research, experimentation, disobsession
– a group should not start its specific activities unless
it has finished its short or long learning process about the doctrine
questions.”
Annual Report
At least once an year, we do our Annual General Meetings where
financials, commitments and accomplishments of the last fiscal
year are revised, confirmed and approved by its members.
