Ritual Abuse
Letter to the
Editor
by Denise Lorgelly (Nov 18, 1994)
It would be of interest
to know just by what authority does Gaye Davidson condemn as a myth
satanic/ritual abuse (November 18)?
While living in Timaru a few years ago, one of our friends was an
extremely well-respected minister in the church and he gave us many instances
of this loathsome ritual being performed, by people who had actually been
present but had since become Christians. They were too afraid to speak
publicly of what they had participated in.
Considering there are (or were) 14
covens between Timaru and Oamaru, it hardly takes any imagination to realise
these people are not just playing games. Our thoughts and support go out to
the parents of the little child alleged to have been treated in this for
their courageous stand in the face of so much ridicule and verbal abuse.
