The Church of England would like to see an end to the "celebration" of Halloween... it's apparently anti-social and perhaps just a little too close to devil worshipping. To this end, they have, in partnership with The Children's Society, come up with a program to promote alternatives to celebrating Halloween as we know it.
They are saying that since Halloween is really the eve of All Saints Day, it shouldn't be about horror. It is interesting to note, however, that the Halloween Choice website itself induces horror. I had assumed that rampant solecism was a North American phenomenon (American, mostly)... as it turns out... it's quite the thing in England as well.
Check out the FAQ section for some Halloween Horror from the Church of England. I wonder what the devil has to say about this horribly written FAQ.
