In a recent Sunday in Canton, Georgia, a group of American Christians found themselves on a mission. It was a very specific mission, though like many missions these days, it had merch. It had live music. It had signage spread out across the front yard of a former one-room schoolhouse such that when cars meandered down the two-lane street passing through this quiet patch of Cherokee County, drivers might take notice and—should the spirit strike—feel themselves moved to pull over and hearken to see what in the heck was going on.
“That was a good honk” said Pastor Robb Ryerse, as a car drove past, the driver laying on the horn merrily. Ryerse raised his hand in greeting. “We can tell the good honks from the bad honks. That’s a good honk.”
