This reminds me of something. Several years ago (1991?), one of the Arlington churches in the Fort Worth Diocese petitioned and is now Roman Catholic using the Anglican Rite. I don't remember what all happened to precipitate the change, but I do remember it was a big deal as the church retained the property, not the diocese.
Hmm, I will have to look it up, but I think it was St Mary's, over on Davis St.
Interesting. The Dennis Canon had been passed before this. Hm...
