[Savannah Nopw] 8 Dec 2008--Eight members of Christ Church in Savannah attended an event in Chicago last week unveiling the constitution and laws of a proposed new North American arm of the Anglican Communion.

Christ Church spokeswoman Stephanie Lynch said the group signed a symbolic statement marking the congregation's intention to join the new organization once membership details have been worked out.

"It's really more of a symbolic gesture. Nothing is binding," Lynch said. "At some point we'll be released from (the Anglican province of) Uganda and transferred to this new North American province."

The new association comes more than a year after Christ Church split from the Episcopal Church. Members voted to align with the Province of Uganda, a member of the 77-million-member global Anglican Communion.
