These snakes hunt bats in complete darkness by sensing movements
of air stirred up by the flying mammals. They usually do so
by hanging from cave roofs to catch high-fliers.
Though these boas and other snakes have been shown to prey on smaller bats,
nobody had ever seen one snagging a vampire bat.Oct 13, 2016

What Drives People to Snake-Handling Churches?
By Kimberly Winston, Religion News Service 1-29-2018
Print

Image via National Geographic Channels / RNS
When Andrew Hamblin walks into church to preach on
 a Sunday morning, he brings along death in a box.

If the Holy Spirit moves him during the service, he
 will open the box's hinged glass lid and remove a
 poisonous snake — one of several he keeps at his house
 — and dance with it, sometimes wearing it, sometimes
jerking it about, as his small Tennessee congregation
 sings and chants.

Hamblin, who is in his mid-20s, is one of a handful
of pastors at the center of In the House of the Serpent
 Handler: A Story of Faith and Fleeting Fame in the
 Age of Social Media, a new book by Julia Duin. A freelance
religion reporter, Duin embedded herself in multiple Appalachian
 snake-handling congregations like Hamblin's to discover
 what drives people to what she calls “the radical edge
of Christianity, where life and death met every time you
 walked into a church and picked up a snake.”


Snake-handling churches have dotted Appalachia for a
 hundred years and are generally secretive. Members tend
 to be older and born into the church, rather than converts.
But Duin's book focuses on a new breed of snake-handling preachers —
young and adept at using social media to attract attention,
including teenage and 20-something members and television crews,
 to their dangerous services.

“I feel like these young people want a belief system that
calls for sacrifice,” Duin said from Seattle, where
she is based. “They want to give themselves for something.
They feel the church has lost an important teaching, that
we should be handling serpents, so they are willing
to put their lives on the line to get what they call
the ‘whole gospel' back to the church. That if they did this,
 more people would be accepting Jesus.”

READ: Snake Handling, Stigmata and Testing God
Duin gives a lot of ink to the preachers themselves,
 letting them explain why handling snakes and endangering
 their own lives (and those of others, including the family
 members who live in homes with as many as 20 vipers) is
vital to their faith.

“There is such a power coming over you and you are
obedient to the spirit of God,” one of the preachers
 tells Duin. “You are compelled to do what He tells
 you and you know it will be all right.”

Snake handling traces its roots to the Pentecostal
 fervor that swept the U.S. in the early 20th century.
 Pentecostals believe in “signs and wonders” — that
 speaking in tongues, prophesizing, and faith healing
are spiritual gifts endowed by the Holy Spirit.


Snake-handling Christians believe in signs and wonders,
 too, but they also believe taking up snakes is something
God commands them to do. They point
to Mark 16:17-18 as the source:

“And these signs shall follow them that believe:
 In my name shall they cast out devils
; they shall speak with new tongues;
 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink
 any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

They also routinely drink poison — strychnine is
 the usual cocktail — and apply flames to their hands
 or feet to show the power of God.

As Duin documents, snake handlers don't always recover
 after they've been bitten. Most snake handlers place
 their faith in God, not doctors, to heal them and
 don't seek medical treatment.

READ: Jamie Coots, Co-star of 'Snake Salvation,'
 Dies of a Snakebite
The list of deaths is long — more than 100. Two of
 the preachers Duin featured died before she completed
 the book. Jamie Coots, a Kentucky preacher, was bitten
by a rattlesnake in February 2014 and died two hours later,
 his family having refused medical treatment. West Virginia
preacher Mack Wolford was bitten by a yellow timber rattler
 at a service in 2012 and died 10 painful hours later.
 He was 44 — five years older than his father,
 also a snake-handling preacher, who died of a bite in 1983.


Both Coots and Wolford — like Hamblin in that
 they wanted to draw more people to the sect —
 were the subjects of National Geographic's
short-lived reality show Snake Salvation.
While that 2013 show ushered the curious
into some snake-handling churches for the
 first time, few seem to have stayed.

“The traditional [snake handling] churches are doing
fine,” including ones in North Carolina, West Virginia,
and Kentucky, Duin said. “They are actually growing.
 It is the ones that went the reality show route that
 have really burned out a lot. It didn't help them that
 Jamie Coots, who tried to be a statesman for the group, died.”

Ralph Hood, a professor of psychology at the University
of Tennessee at Chattanooga and an expert on snake-handling
churches, said Duin's book documents the divide between snake
 handling's old and new guards.

“Elders that carry on the tradition are disturbed by …
 Snake Salvation and marvel at the appeal [to a broader
 audience] that fails to understand the depth of what
it means to handle serpents,” he said in an email
. New preachers attracted only by the showmanship
of handling snakes are missing the point of the ritual, elders say.

“It is as if an alcoholic converted to
 Catholicism to drink wine on a Sunday morning
in a dry county,” Hood said.


Duin, a Christian, disagrees with the snake handlers'
 interpretation of the biblical verse about taking up serpents.
 She, like the vast majority of mainstream Christians,
believes it is a hypothetical or even a metaphor —
 but says it is a mistake to ignore or disparage them.

“These people have a drive and zealousness
for their faith and I feel like other churches
could really take some lessons from them,” Duin said.

“I feel like in some churches, if the Holy Spirit
rushed in, he'd be ushered right back out.
 I would like to see churches bring them in to speak —
 just leave the snakes at home.”
