Davidians break ground for new buildi
WACO, Texas (AP) — As
grasshoppers flitted in 90-degree
heat, workers as young as four
and as old as 71 broke ground
Sunday for a new Branch Davidi-
an church at Mount Carmel.
Shovels and pickaxes tore into
the soil outside Waco — the same
scenery that six years ago formed
the backdrop for the fiery debacle
that killed David Koresh and some
80 followers.
The project was organized and
led by Austin radio talk show host
Alex Jones, who has called the Da
vidians victims of “a government
cover-up of its violation of the
First Amendment.”
Some 60 people dug holes on
the old compound site Sunday to
hold support beams for a 38-by-
40-foot white frame church.
The scene was reminiscent of a
barn-raising — hamburgers siz
zled and a portable stereo pumped
out Christian country music.
“This is a statement,” the 25-
year-old Jones said. “This is about
saying the witch hunt of 1993 is
over.”
Jones called the church project
a ‘‘healing process” for the Branch
Davidians and the country.
"We know that now
is the perfect time,
that’s why we’re
doing it
— Alex Jones
Austin radio talk-show host
Six years ago, on April 19, 1993,
flames destroyed the sect’s com
pound.
The fire ended a 51-day standoff
between the Branch Davidians and
the federal government.
Sunday’s caravan of volunteers
from Austin to Waco included Ko-
resh’s mother and stepfather and
consisted of about 60 vehicles in
cluding pickup trucks, motor
homes and a luxury sedan. It ar
rived at Mount Carmel at 9:30 a.m.
‘‘It means a lot,” said Koresh’s
stepfather Roy Haldeman, 71, a re
tired carpenter who lives in Tyler,
Texas. ‘T feel good about it.”
Haldeman lived at the com
pound for about 18 months in 1992
and 1993.
Sunday, he cast a stoic glance
over the workers and said the pro
ject was “too deep” to explain
what it meant to him.
Jones began the drive to rebuild
the church during a broadcast on
his KJFK-FM show on Sept. 13.
He said he and others have been
talking for three years about build
ing a new structure on the site.
Recent questions about whether
the FBI fired incendiary tear-gas
rounds and the escalating contro
versy over the government’s con
duct spurred him to act, he said.
‘‘All of it — it’s all about public
opinion. We know that now is the
perfect time, that’s why we’re do
ing it,” said Jones, whod
with the message: "YoubJ
build it.”
‘‘This is a monumen:
First Amendment,” he s: U
think about speech and™
but it is also religion aniifl
pression thereof.”

Worshippers return to Fort Worth churd
FORT WORTH (AP) — Some walked hesi
tantly up the sun-washed sidewalk. A few used
sunglasses or veils to shield teary eyes. Still oth
ers marched into the church with poker faces,
heads high, eyes straight ahead.
But come they did, clad in their Sunday best,
to reclaim Wedgwood Baptist Church just days
after a shooting rampage left eight dead and sev
en wounded in the white-walled sanctuary.
Over the front door hung a banner reading,
“Let the Healing Begin.”
Blood soaked the aisle and foyer carpet
Wednesday night — so church officials had the
rugs torn up and hauled away.
In their place, scarred cement flooring lined
the aisles yesterday.
And because splattered blood destroyed
some of the pew cushions, entire sections of
seating were uprooted. Rickety folding chairs re
placed sections of wooden pews yesterday.
The scars were evident — but shouted
prayers, spirited singing and clapping hands
rang off the high sanctuary ceiling.
The service opened with a prayer “that
many may be saved by the lives and deaths of
these martyrs.”
“Praise the Lord,” the Rev. A1 Meredith said,
taking the pulpit to waves of applause. Behind
him, the choir stood in flowing crimson robes.
“If I didn’t know better. I’d say we were having
church today.”
Packets of Kleenex were scattered through
out the sanctuary for the church’s first service
since gunman Larry Gene Ashbrook burst into
an evening youth rally and opened fire. The
killing spree ended only when Ashbrook turned
the gub to his own head.
Since then, the church grounds have been
awash with uniformed officials, television crews
and well-wishers.
Yesterday, the lawn was still, the ribbons of
police tape and stacks of plastic cones nowhere
to be seen. Wedgwood officials asked even
Baptists from other churches to stay away yes
terday morning.
During the children’s sermon, Meredith
gathered the youngest, knee-high worshippers
to the stage.
