100 ATTEND MINISTERS' MEETING ON WICCAN TEACHER-by Thomas Lark, Laurinburg
Exchange (1/24/00)
About 100 local church members turned up at Northview Harvest Ministries
to protest what they see as Internet pornography, disseminated by Wiccan
ministers Shari and Richard Eicher, who live in Wagram.
At Saturday evening's rally, area ministers claimed theirs is not a
religious objection. Instead, they protested the Eichers on the grounds
of what they view as indecency. They emphasized that the Eichers are free
to practice whatever religion they choose; in the Wiccan world, nakedness
within ritualized contexts is a frequent occurrence. The pastors and their
followers took great offense at the photographic depictions of this nudity
on the Internet web site, saying they did not want their children exposed
to such things and that school teachers should be held to higher moral
standards.
