Fort Worth Episcopals Repudiate National Church
In Arlington, Fort Worth Bishop Jackiker urged a special convention of clergy and lay delegates to push back against the national church’s approval of an openly gay bishop and same sex blessings. Delegates passed resolutions denouncing the General Convention and criticizing its handling of the Robinson case, as supporters urged adherence to scripture amid Anglican Communion tensions. The Fort Worth diocese spans from Burkburnett to Brownwood and Hubbard, with 2.3 million members in the Episcopal Church nationwide.

Gun rights advocates push youth outreach at national conference
Houston speakers at the Gun Rights Policy Conference urged recruiting a younger following to keep the movement alive. Joe Waldron warned that without new shooters the cause could perish, while Dave Smith noted rising marketing efforts aimed at younger people and women to boost gun sales and rights discourse. In San Antonio, archaeologists at Natural Bridge Caverns began the first scientific dig since 1960, uncovering artifacts dating back 2,000 years with some items awaiting carbon dating.
