I can say that I grew up in church, but my mother still let me and my sisters go trick or treating. She said that it was part of being a child. I really did not know exactly what the holiday represented until I was in high school. I had fun, but I wasn't allowed to touch a thing before my mother went through absolutely every piece of candy to make sure that it had not been tampered with.
Actually, I went trick or treating with my friends up until I was in high school. One of the main reasons why I stopped was that when you t or t in the ghetto, older kids will run up on you snatch your bag of candy quicker than lightning.
My church sponsors activities for the kids. It's not called a Halloween party and there are no scary costumes allowed. I think that is a great idea for the children whose parents don't agree with it.
