CBSN
The current federal requirement that Americans wear masks on public transportation will remain in effect until at least early next year, the Transportation Security Administration announced on Tuesday.
"TSA will extend the directives through January 18, 2022," the agency said in a statement to CBS News. "The purpose of TSA's mask directive is to minimize the spread of COVID-19 on public transportation." The announcement comes as the highly transmissible Delta variant continues to spread across the country, prompting schools, local governments and entertainment and sports venues begin to reintroduce mask requirements.
Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
