[Chicago Sun-Times] 10 Sep 2007--Christians often describe their faith journey as a spiritual walk.
On Sunday, a West Chicago congregation took a giant step in faith -- splitting from their denomination, the 2.2-million-member Episcopal Church.
Nearly 100 people turned out for the final service at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection. Afterward, they processed with crosses, candles and an altar down the street to their new worship space.
A sign greeted them: "Resurrection Anglican Church. Welcome home." The congregation is now under the auspices of the Anglican Church of Uganda.
The Episcopal Diocese of Chicago retains ownership of the church building the congregation had been using.
