Religious Exploration

Our Sunday School of Magic and Mystery will consider how Jesus was hosanna’ed into Jerusalem and Harry was, at first, a celebrity at Hogwarts. People’s feelings changed when Jesus and Harry started pointing out some uncomfortable truths. Hmmmm… If the weather is fine, we’ll meet on the playground.
