I AM grateful for the response and time taken by Mrs J Walkden and Mr M P Morris in reply to my letter 'Halloween is not harmless'.

Like Mr Walkden I am deeply concerned by the real evils of this world and especially when we read the scripture quoted by Mr Morris from Revelation, chapter 19 that talks about Jesus' return.

I believe God wants us to find spiritual satisfaction through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and as such I can not understand why we should expose children to experiences contrary to the word of God.
