Other than reaching out to needy women, I DON’T SEE AT ALL how the Fall’s Church liturgy has anything at all to do with Wicca, or Pagan ceremonies.

Fall’s Church is a very solidly orthodox Anglican congregation, and I am sure has ZERO toleration for anything Wiccan or Pagan.

Actually, the article distinguishes between pagan practices, in the first part, and more traditional Christian efforts to minister to women who feel "unappreciated", in the second part. That's where Falls Church is mentioned, and the pastor interviewed makes clear that faithful Christians' prayers are Jesus-focussed, and that the problem with magic and paganism is that it is "me-focussed" and tries to make higher powers DO things.

Sometimes it does succeed, btw, but there's always a price to be paid. Far better not to mess with that stuff. It's real, and it's dangerous. Too many of these foolish women are just playing around and don't really believe in any of it.
