You know, Padre, our Greek priests have been around for at least 1800 years and not one of them has ever died of snake bite...at least not in church!

My father-in-law is out of that eastern Kentucky area. They were Methodist but had Pentecostal cousins, one of whom succumbed to a snake not too many decades back. At the same time, as people they were the salt of the earth. There’s something in the water in Kentucky. In fact, in the water of that entire Appalachian chain. They got isolated and made up their own.
