In this two-part presentation, liturgist and literature scholar\u00a0Emily<\/span>\u00a0Strand<\/span>\u00a0will lead participants in taking inventory of and articulating what they know about the sacramental principle, and help deepen their understanding of this foundational notion of Christian worship. Participants will then apply this understanding to the Harry Potter series, interpreting Potter’s magical world as a metaphor for the life of grace, hidden in plain sight. In so doing, the presentation aims to help participants employ the popular book and film series as a way to, as CS Lewis said, steal past the watchful dragons of religious apathy and disaffiliation among young people, renewing their (and all of our) sense of awe and wonder for the “magic” of the world created by God, and for the school in which we learn to recognize it: the sacramental and ritual life of the Church.<\/span><\/p>\n
