Bewitched, Without Incident
Author: Mandy Stoltzfus Source: Lancaster Online (PA)
Title: BEWITCHED, WITHOUT INCIDENT
Witches and pagans who traveled to Adamstown on Saturday for a festival "Celebrating Earth Spirituality" were greeted by a steady rain and praying Christians in a silent protest.
The gathering held at Stoudtburg Village and hosted by Reading Pagans and Witches proved to far less controversial than the debate that brewed in the days leading up to it.
Religious freedoms and convictions became the point of contention and some shop owners decided to close their businesses Saturday. Most, however, remained open.

are the xians going to get it through their thick melons that their so-called "god" isn't the only act in town?
Talk to a Witch and be educated.

One of the pictures shows a horizontal cross, being used in Protest. This minds me of an Archbishop, who threw a Crucifix on the floor, before a king, and suggested that Jesus be crucified again.
When the Christians prayed, providing an audience, at least, was this a ritual attendance, that they could better hold their neighbors in the light? That sounds rather Quaker for Baptists.
If Satan means Obstacle, then Satan would not be the Father of Lies, that'd be The Bright One, but it's the brilliance we try to hide behind, in trying to avoid our obstacles, is the necessity that is mother to invention. I might not have parsed that, correctly, but Satan would be the Mother, and Lucifer would be the Mother; Inquisitors could worship in the Wiccan mode, for that reason.
Actually, it seems rather sensible, that The English could get out there, for a presentation of comparative religions.
It minds me to say, for whoever's reason, that Church and Religion are two different organizational structures.

Glad to read that MOST of the village listened to reason.
