Obviously, it would help if church leadership encouraged that and modeled that in most churches. Yes, the ex-Christian Wiccans did NOT have mature Christian friends to help them through their crisis of faith... <BR/>I too, under pray. I too, often forget how powerful my God is.<BR/><BR/>(Thanks Peter for the D.

The danger, though is that we can't consider Wicca to be a safe thing. Wicca is a form of Satan worship, though it may not claim directly to be so.<BR/><BR/>Having spent most of my life in a Pentecostal church I would have to agree that many many churches, even some "pentecostal" churches Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
