The
Coshocton Tribune is reporting that the Goss Baptist Church (Columbia) is hoping for a record turnout for Thursday's annual "Blessing of the Hunt." I've never heard of this tradition, but it they evidently do this every year in Mississippi right before deer season. They even host vendors who give away door prizes and cook jambalaya, all "as a way to reach people who might otherwise not go to church."
As worrisome as I find the image of heavily armed Christians prowling the woods, I am encouraged to see how much work is required to get people to go to church these days. And hell, at least they aren't hunting atheists.
