Abstract:
Women have been included in anthropological studies of serpent-handling, but no past research has focused specifically and solely on the experiences of the women who practice this tradition, nor has it been collected by a female researcher. Interviews with the women demonstrate that experiences, actual roles in church life, and accounts will vary from person to person, from church to church, and from state to state.

Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing how others view John Mace, youth pastor, teachings about inclusivity and progressivism in Christianity. The comments about John range from agreeing, disagreeing, and agreeing with some of what he says. One commenter states that the church does not need someone like John because he says he does not fully believe in the bible and is only doing this to gain popularity with the younger generations. Another commenter states that they love John’s view and teachings but does not like how it is trying to separate between right and left politics and thinks it should include everyone. The views on John’s teachings about the bible very from each end of the spectrum but many fall in the middle.
