  VERY GOOD. looking less unkindly upon appearances and being more open to considering alternative behaviours and thoughts is a step toward *manifesting* the love which is properly described by those with true Christian charity as God. now if only Christians could find a way to extend that charity to all living beings such as the Wiccans and Buddhists *say* they want to do. # Above all, follow the advice of Wesley United Methodist Church # pastor Ken Steigler: Love them and let them know they're welcome.VERY GOOD. end of excerpts, original article continues: >Sidebar: A Wicca Primer >http://christianitytoday.com/ct/2000/012/13.108.html # A Wicca Primer excerpts below, with my reactions. # What do Wiccans believe? # Contemporary Wiccans worship the Great Mother Goddess and her # partner the Horned God (Pan), but these and a host of other pagan # deities are said to represent various aspects of an impersonal # creative force called "The One" or "The All"reflecting the # current influence of Eastern monism popularized in New Age # thought.Wiccans regard all aspects of natureplants, rocks, # planetsas having spirit. no mention of immanence. an apparently correct identification of unity with regard to "having spirit" and prevalent monism. # Who is the Great Mother Goddess? # She is the female aspect of The All and has many names, inclu

  Ken Steigler, pastor of Salem's Wesley United Methodist Church, calls this "invitational evangelism."Steigler notes that Salem's Haunted Happenings celebration has grown from October 31 to the Halloween weekend to the entire month.He offers Holy Happenings as an alternative.
  
  Area evangelical churches began holding concerts of prayer near Halloween 13 years ago, with some lasting from 6 p.m. until 6 o'clock the next morning.
  
  This year's Holy Happenings will be even more spectacular.
  ...
  "They go off in their covens and have a very serious celebration," Steigler says."But this is not a city taken over by Wiccans and pagans.It is also a city with a Christian community, and we want to say to all of these groups, whether you are dabbling in witchcraft or are a witch of many years, we love you, and we welcome you."
  
  So Wesley United Methodist, a church of about 265 members whose sexton was a witch for 42 years before becoming a Christian, opens its doors to provide prayer as well as apples, soda, and coffee.Last year the busiest time was between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m., when hordes of drunken kids who needed bathrooms, phones, and other care flooded in.
  
  ...
  "If 10 people go away from Salem thinking, 'There is a church that welcomed me, that loved me, even with all my amulets and all my stuff,' then all of it is worth our while," Steigler says.
  
  A haunting industryAs strong as the Christian witness in Salem was last year, some local observers estimate that it used to be even greater.
