Some parts of the German-speaking Christian community have followed the lead
of our U.S. counterparts, with a few months worth of translation lag. I've
got into a few rumpuses, and a friend of mind nearly got himself lynched for
organizing an information evening in which he warmly recommended that
parents read HP to their kids.

For the most part, however, German-speaking Christians tend to be less
trigger happy--if only because the community is much smaller.

Baaaaaa!

Aberforth's Goat (a.k.a. Mike Gray, now back in the happy pastures of
Potterdom! It was a heck of a long swim back from that dumb island where
Neil marooned me during that Great Shipping Debate.)
