RUSSIA BANS HALLOWEEN AS "CULT OF DEATH"

"It's not an attempt to block the celebration of this holiday completely, just in schools and colleges ...

"This is destructive for the minds and the spiritual and moral health of pupils," said Alexander Gavrilov, a spokesman for the Moscow school system.

Gavrilov said the ban had been recommended by psychiatrists.

REFORMATION DAY CELEBRATIONS

I hope to have some pictures from our church's first Reformation Day party this evening, but here is Dan Philips' post at Pyromaniacs on how his family marks the day. The comments are fun for the first 75 or so.

("Team Pyro", by the way, are a bunch of perfectly decent Reformed theological types, taking their name from Jeremiah 23:29, "'Is not My word like a fire?' says the Lord". Very good blog, and despite the name, not primarily flames ... well, expect for some of the commentors ... )
