| Summary: | In a large pasture in West Texas, thirty-five men and women sit mounted on horseback and forty more stand around them. Sitting astride a horse in front of them is their pastor, next to another man holding a large American flag.

With this simple invocation, the pasture roping at the local cowboy church is now underway. |
