'Flying preacher' charms us all with his over-the-top entrance

Quite a religious experience.
By Amanda Luz Henning Santiago  on 

This guy really knows how to make an entrance.

In a video shared on Facebook by ZaKnedria LeUnshae Webb on Sunday, the head pastor of the Brown Baptist Church in Southaven, Mississippi, Bartholomew Orr can be seen "flying" onto the stage of his church:

He's since gone viral and been dubbed the "flying preacher" after he delivered part of his sermon in mid-air. Of course, Orr isn't actually flying — he's very clearly hooked up to a line. But, his descent onto the stage while talking about Jesus Christ's return certainly gives it a dramatic edge.

Orr also recorded and shared a video on Brown Missionary Baptist Church's Facebook page on Monday, thanking everyone for watching his slightly unorthodox Sunday sermon. He also added that the line he rode to his podium was actually in place for the Church's annual Christmas pageant, and it was donated by a number of the church's sponsors.

Let's hope they leave it up for the rest of the year.
