Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker asks churches to get more civically involved

Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker has asked Tarrant County faith leaders to come to City Council meetings and saturate them in prayer.

The request came during a meeting with faith leaders organized by Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare to discuss threats of violence against government officials. Texas Rep. Nate Schatzline, a pastor at Mercy Culture Church, posted a video about the meeting to the church’s Instagram account.

“I did not realize how spiritual this battle for our city was,” Schatzline quoted Parker saying during his sermon.
