Can Christians be Friends with Witches?

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

Pam Hogeweide conducts an interview with Phil Wyman who is pastor of The Gathering.

Here is one quote to give you a sense of Wyman’s journey:

At first, Phil’s denomination-that-shall-not-be-named was all gaga about Phil’s unique and inventive outward reach to a group of people that most Christians won’t even eat dinner with. But over time, there came rumors and whisperings and a flurry of gossipy emails that raised questions about the wisdom of Phil’s modus operandi. He and the other leaders of his church found themselves subjected to an old-fashioned witch hunt where they were asked such questions as, ‘How can you be friends with witches?’ to which they replied, ‘How can we not?’

Would that we would all have such a missional heart that we would be compelled to make friends with those in need of the Kingdom, regardless of the cost.

JJ at SmuloSpace also did an interview with Phil back in 2006. You can read them here and here.

And our good blogging friend Webb Kline relates his encounter with Phil here.
