In Jesus Name (1991)
At "Jesus Name" churches in Alabama and Georgia. Services started in a mild, restrained way but the tempo went way up, really quick. It all started with a newspaper report of an arrest of a snake handler at a church outside Newport, TN. Pastor Will Campbell drove over to Newport to talk with the sheriff and see if some sensible settlement could be reached. They succeeded and the little church in Newport was allowed to continue its services. Will Campbell's history of helping folks in trouble goes way back.
