After completing the deployment of the new OJS 3.0 Platform System on the PUC Minas Journal Portal, INTERAÇÕES has implemented some changes to its editorial policy and is working to expand its presence in international indexers.

In this issue we worked on three main thematic: religious publications, education, religion and dialogue and, finally, pastoral and mystical theology.

This issue begins with articles that address, from different perspectives of analysis, the influence of religious publications within their communities. After that INTERAÇÕES brings reflections about the role of religions and education in the processes aimed at establishing a culture of peace, dialogue, respect and tolerance, essential aspects defended by studies and practices related to the theme of pluralism and interreligious dialogue. And finally brings up some articles that address the religious practices, either in the field of pastoral, or in the mystical field or contemplative experience.

On behalf of the Editorial Board of INTERAÇÕES, we would like to thank you for reading and hoping that these articles will become a source for new research and on this direction, contribute to the consolidation of the area of ​​study in the disciplines of Religion Studies and Theology in our country.
