Job Description
The Episcopal Church of the Cross is a six year-old church plant located in the Lake Travis area of Western Travis County. Approximately 120 persons call Church of the Cross their home. The Diocese of Texas owns land in the area, and we are currently taking steps towards the creation of our first space. To this point, the community has mostly worshiped in an area elementary school. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have worshiped outdoors at a local wedding venue and online.
We seek an energetic, faithful, creative, and joyful soul to serve as our Minister of Children’s and Youth Formation to help the children, youth, and households of the ECC and beyond grow in faithfulness and discipleship. This position has semi-flexible work hours of 10-15 hours/week, and Sunday morning presence is required.

Fair or cruel? Texans offer two views of legislation that would target transgender girls Aria Jones and Chuck Lindell, Austin American-Statesman
Trans athletes are speaking out against bills that would ban trans kids from competing

Opponents said House Bill 4042 would target vulnerable schoolchildren to solve a nonexistent problem, codify cruelty into law, deprive transgender children of the benefits of athletics and further stigmatize students who already struggle with bullying and exclusion. This bill invites further discrimination. It does nothing to raise fairness and safety for young women and girls in sports, said Bishop Suffragan Kathryn Ryan of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas.
Rep. Cole Hefner, R-Mount Pleasant, told the committee that his bill also is a safety measure, designed to protect girls from biological males who can have larger bodies, denser bones and stronger muscles, particularly in contact sports. The safety aspect is common sense, Hefner said. I mean, we can look around the room and that s common sense. And it s science, and there are experts here that can speak to that. But how many girls, biological girls, that have worked their whole life to get that scholarship?
He said the bill would codify school athletics rules by basing gender determination by each student s original birth certificate though girls would continue to be allowed to compete in boys sports if a comparable girls team is not available.
