“Aa a | Christian, the freedom to live and practise _

strongly ‘disagree with Ms. Gregg’s philosophy, I

respect, her right to believe as she chooses.
‘Having’ said’ this, I ‘would like ‘to express. my

Understanding of the person who has been. taking |

thinking. T Have read her posters and they promote

such things as channelling, tarot, spiritual healing |

and other’ New Age movement philosophies with
which I have had previous experience,
Before I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal

Lord and Saviour three years ago, I was attracted to |

several New Age, philosophies such as astrology and
runes. Howéver, I consider myself blessed in that

od ised one of my personal weaknesses, laziness, to
prevent _ me from delving too ‘deeply and finding

myself in bondage to any of these beliefs. I was still ~

left with .a spiritual emptiness which was not filled
until I recognized that I was_a sinful creature who
could not be reconciled with God until I first accepted

His Son. as Lord of my life. This is the only way to

truth and to life.
’" Thave much to my surprise and delight found an

inner peace and an unending source of love and

now has direction and purpose. When I fail I know

that God is always there waiting for me to turn to
Him to let Him work in my life. I do not believe the

your centre up in prayer. I would like to encourage

ing influence of New Age thinking i in our community
to do likewise. Only God in His infinite ; mercy and
power can change hearts. -

This ripping down of posters was s probably.

motivated by a sincere desire to protect vulnerable —

people seeking spiritual answers from falling. into
entrapment by the delusions of New Age thinking,

However, this action seems to have. hardened . the

hearts of Ms. Gregg and her students, so I hope the

person responsible will seek God’s will in the matter

before considering any other such actions.

As Christians we are called to reach out to others
in the name of Jesus. Let us show Ms. Gregg and her.

followers the true meaning of, Christian love...
