Founded in 1999, The Gathering at Salem is a center for spiritual development and dialogue that aims to improve relations between Christians and Witches. The Vault, where weekly services are held, is an old bank that was converted into a Christian church. Pastor Phil Wyman, who has studied Neo-Paganism, founded The Gathering at Salem to provide a safe place for Christians and Pagans to discuss their faith and develop an understanding of and a compassion for each other.
