Our interfaith household heads into this Sunday polymorphously devotional.
There will be three hours at our local Mormon wardhouse. For some of us, a few hours at Hebrew school. And then, there will be Superbowl.

(Yes, of course, sports is a religion. A thesis it surely does not take a dry rehash of Emile Durkheim to prove. Ahem.)
