From Texas-
The Episcopal Diocese of Texas has been rallying church members to confront a wave of wildfires that have destroyed a 1,000 homes near Austin and are moving closer to Houston suburbs like Tomball.
According to a report by the diocese:
Several parishioners of Good Shepherd, Tomball have had to evacuate from fires northwest of Houston, and parishes in northeast Texas have also felt the effects of fires. In Longview, St. Michael and All Angels’ as well as Trinity Episcopal have reported smoke-filled skies from fires burning near Gladewater.
“Most of us woke up this morning with ash-covered cars,” said Donna Armstrong, Trinity’s parish administrator. “Its a little unnerving, but so far none of our parishioners have been directly affected.”
