	Church Fires Pastor after Sex Assault Convictions Newchannel 5 September 6, 2006 http://www.newschannel5.tv/News/Other/3781/Church-fires-pastor-after-sex-assault-convictions Arlington (AP) - The board of an Arlington church has fired the church's founder and pastor in the wake of his sexual assault convictions and prison sentence. A statement issued Tuesday by the Agape Christian Fellowship says the church board has fired the Reverend Terry Hornbuckle. The statement says his wife, Renee Hornbuckle of Colleyville, will take over as senior pastor for at least four months. The board says a group of pastors and bishops from around the country will evaluate her based on "her readiness and capacity to serve as senior pastor on an indefinite basis." Renee Hornbuckle had been assistant pastor at the 2,500-member church on a multi-million dollar southeast Arlington campus. Her husband founded the church in a former Dairy Queen in the mid-1980s. He was convicted last month of raping three women, including two former church members. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
