Now I'm no fan of Halloween. Personally I start listening to Christmas music in September and wish all the costume shops would stop taking over perfectly vacant storefronts every autumn. I find no redemptive value in giving my neighbors opportunity to dress up as witches and zombies to scare my young and impressionable children into a month of nightmares. That said, Halloween is nowhere near as dangerous as the Protestant holiday on October 31, Reformation Day.
The Church Divided and Always Dividing
The very term "reformation" in Reformation Day can be misleading. How? Martin Luther and other reformers may have intended to reform the church. But they failed. They ended up dividing it.
