After fire, groundbreaking is held for new Antioch Missionary Baptist Church
CHICAGO -- More than two years ago, the historic Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in the Englewood neighborhood went up in flames.The church was completely destroyed, and the congregation was forced to move.But on Tuesday, the congregation that was displaced when its home burned down began the process of resurrecting a new church from the ashes of the old.
'I was a little kid when I came.'Dukes stood in the empty lot at Stewart and Englewood avenues Tuesday, trying to recall her memories of where the church one stood.'We were standing saying: 'Where are we standing at? Are we at the entrance? Where are we at?' trying to imagine back then,' said Dukes. 'But you know what? It doesn't even matter, because we're going to be standing in a new place.'On this Thanksgiving week, hope is renewed.
