About this item
Bexhill Observer, 26 May 1988. Letter from Philip T. W. Bohm, writing for the Women's Protestant Union and The Sentinels' Union, Peacehaven, prompted by 'the recent death of the so called king of the witches Alex Sanders'. Citing Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Acts, Revelation, 1 Timothy and James, the writer expresses concern for 'those caught up in witchcraft in Hastings and Bexhill', condemns witchcraft, fortune telling and spiritualism, and urges 'every Christian in Hastings and Bexhill to lift up the banner against these forces of evil'. The letter was written from Peacehaven, not Bexhill. The printed headline uses a dash where this title uses a comma.
