When Good People Disagree - A Halloween Case Study 
Halloween
Using Halloween as a case study in conflict, Karl Bastian wrote this article, When Good People Disagree, as a means to rise above the base issue and provide insight into how Christians should deal with controversial topics, such as Halloween.

"During this time of year, I always receive e-mails asking me what I think about how the church should deal with Halloween. I have addressed this issue in the past; however, I would like to discuss instead a higher issue, and use Halloween as the relevant example.

 

The issue is: How Should Christians Deal With Disagreement, because many people disagree regarding what to do with Halloween. Halloween is a perfect subject for discussing how Christians should engage each other and ministry when there are equally powerful but opposite convictions on what is right."
