Unlike most of my columns, this one addresses a specific, current
controversy in the town where I live. Usually
my submissions run on the Religion page.
This one was given above-the-fold placement on the Editorial page. I’m putting it on my blog because I think
some of the points in it have general application.
When I first read about the Zombie run planned for October in Lititz, I had a mild reaction of “Eww, that’s
weird,” and then thought no more about it.
No more, that is, until a friend called to ask what I thought, posing
the question, “Are zombies satanic?”
That prompted me to do some research, the results of which I shared with
my friend. Letters to the editor make it
clear that others have similar concerns, so I have done more research and am
sharing the results here.
