Lewiston Christian Group to Protest Potter

"But it won*t be the protest they wanted. Church leaders Doug and
Sonia Taylor had hoped to hold a book burning in Kennedy Park Thursday
evening. They say the popular fantasy tales encourage witchcraft, occult
practices and even rebelliousness among children.

However, the Fire Department said public book burning is a fire hazard,
and denied the couple a permit. 

So instead, the Jesus Party will be holding a 'book cutting.'*
