Cippenham Baptist Church

No there aren’t – but could there be?  A group of witches have been denied permission to hold their Annual Witches Ball at a Catholic churches social club.  You can read an article about it on the Telegraph website here.

According to the Telegraph article, the witches’ High Priestess, Sandra Davis says “Does the church check everyone’s beliefs before allowing them in the club?” -  the answer is obviously no.

But of course the witches are of a different religion.  Sure they’re not worshipping the devil or lighting candles round bowls of blood, but they do have different spiritual beliefs.

So what if some witches wanted to hire the Church Hall?  If we told them that they couldn’t, on what grounds would we do that?  Are they doing any harm?  Would their presence cause some kind of spiritual conflict?

It’s an interesting question.  If you want to comment, please click on the comments link below.
