A voice of silent praise: Woman channels her inner mime in service to the Lord

Patsy Jones-McClintock is the Anointed Mime of Temple. She wears a blue choir gown in honor of her church, Corinth Baptist, and her face is white with clown make-up. For some of her more dramatic performances, she said her face is half-white, half-black. Clint Bittenbinder/Telegram
She worships without words.

The Anointed Mime, Patsy Jones-McClintock, doesn't need them. Her praise takes life from music and movement.

"When I'm the mime, I get shaken out of my soul," Mrs. Jones-McClintock said. "I get in the zone of the Holy Spirit, and it's overwhelming."

Her first performance as the Anointed Mime took place about two years ago at Corinth Baptist Church in Temple.

"She came to me with the idea as a ministry," said the Rev. U.C. Barnes, the pastor at Corinth. "She felt very strongly about it, and when I saw what it was that she wanted to do, I knew it could be something that could enrich lives."
