Serpent handlers land a reality TV show

It’s a slow summer news day here at the Episcopal Cafe, so this story from USA Today about a couple of serpent handlers kind of jumped out at me:

A pair of serpent-handling Pentecostal preachers who were profiled in The Tennessean last year are getting their own reality television show.

“Snake Salvation” is set to debut Sept. 10 on the National Geographic Channel.

The series will feature Andrew Hamblin of Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette, Tenn., and Jamie Coots of Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name church of Middlesboro, Ky.
