I don't see what the problem is... Christianity is built on pagan religion. Easter and Christmas are both adapted from pagan celebrations occurring at the spring equinox and winter solstice respectively.

This morning a friend of mine in Denmark wrote asking me what I thought of an article titled '<A href="http://confessingumc.org/confessional_statement/resources/items_of_general_interest/wicca_infiltrates_the_churches/">Wicca Infiltrates the Churches</A>,' by Catherine Edwards.  Its author is quite alarmed at what she sees as unchristian influences seeking to undermine traditional Christan doctrine.  As she puts it, "Feminist proponents of Wicca . . . can now be found within the clergy promoting the cult of the Goddess in many mainline Christian denominations."</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.beliefnet.com/apagansblog/2009/02/are-wiccans-infiltrating-churches.html"><DIV>But what Edwards writes about is a Christian problem, not a Wiccan one: how do you address the sacred feminine in a religion whose daily practice has denigrated it for around 2000 years?  Hence, 'Wiccan' IDEAS are 'infiltrating' because some Christians find them in some respects more insightful than their own tradition.  Which on those matters, they are.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.beliefnet.com/apagansblog/2009/02/are-wiccans-infiltrating-churches.html"><DIV>But there is another dimension to this issue I think is important.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B96858F0-8CA7-415C-9A0B-FA39DD5CC596/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
