As I drove into the parking lot of the Powell County High School I could hear the exaltations of a local preacher giving his Easter sermon. “Can I get an amen?” rang out over the loudspeaker and was swiftly met with a chorus of car horns being honked by parishioners in reply. Young children stuck their heads out the windows of SUVs to listen to the sermon. Among the ferns and tulle bows that decorated the raised stage holding the preacher at the front of the lot there read a sign that said, “Please remain in your vehicle at all times”.
