Side 3a: Modern Halloween encompasses a wide spectrum of very different practices — innocent trick-or-treating, outreach, and fall festivals

Mike lists the range of Halloween experiences: (1) Children going door-to-door for candy — community building, fun memories, inherently neutral. (2) Drinking parties and carnal behavior — sinful, clear-cut. (3) Christian outreach — Mike and his wife hand out gospel tracts with good candy; many use Halloween as an evangelism opportunity since neighbors are already coming to the door. (4) Trunk-or-treats at churches. (5) Fall festivals — a church gathering celebrating the season, entirely innocuous. The diversity of experiences means you cannot paint all Halloween participation with the same brush.
