content: Edited film by Peter Adair on a Holiness Church (Pentecostal) congregation in Scrabble Creek, West Virginia. The narration contextualizes the distinctive acts of worship in this church, as in other independent churches, in terms of an emphasize on select passages of the Bible. Scenes include individual testimony, public testifying during a revival-style meeting, the laying of hands, singing, spiritual dancing, trance, and the handling of serpents.
