HALLOWEEN is one of the most important dates in the year for people who follow nature-based faith systems.

Named Samhain (pronounced sowain), it is the time of the year when they can feel close to people who have crossed over. This pastor shows no respect for the customs of another faith in a multi-cultural country.

If he thinks Halloween is "evil", he should give thought to how the celebration of a man's murder may appear to non Christians.
