SSSusan:
Would you please clarify--*you* don't believe she meets the criteria 
of being a Christian? or you don't believe she has *stated* that she 
is a Christian?  

I won't even touch the former, but I can address the latter.

>From CanadianChristianity.com (Nov. 2000):
When pressed for details, the author told Solomon that she attends 
church regularly -- "I go to more than just weddings and 
christenings" -- and that she finds solace there. "It is a place I 
would go to in a time of trouble." Rowling also said she hasn't 
always turned to God for help during tough times, but she does now. 


>From HPfGU Fantastic Post "J.K. Rowling" by Penny Linsenmayer:
She has cited involvement with the Church of Scotland....


And from Katie Couric interview, June 2003:
Rowling: "Oh, I do believe in God."
Couric: "You do?"
Rowling: "Yeah, which I've said before, but that just seems to annoy 
them even more For some reason. I don't think they want me on their 
side at all."

Now, you had been talking about *Eastern* Christianity in your post, 
and so it may be that you were referring to that belief system when 
you spoke?  

Just curious.
