Dear Brother Jacob,
Your last letter made me go back and read all the books about Lyceum again. I guess I was assuming that Lyceum was a Christian place. But now I can see that it isn’t, at least not officially.
Do you really have Buddhists and Muslims at Lyceum? The idea of a different person leading worship every morning, no matter what religion they are, is kind of scary.
Our church says that the books in the Bible we use are the only books that are the word of God. I asked one of our ministers, and he said that if I read books that pretend to be scripture but aren’t, I’m doing the Devil’s bidding.
I’ll have to think about things.
Sincerely,
Shawn Mitchell
Dear Sarah,
I felt strange when you told me that Lyceum lets people do spooky, witchy things in some parts of the campus on Halloween. My church rents out rooms sometimes, but only for Christian things. You don’t go near those witchy things, do you? We believe that witches are in league with the Devil.
