I need to supply my son with his baptismal records, and cannot locate the church. I did find All Saint's Episcopal on the net, but the photo does not look like the church.
This was in 1979: A church that had a really overweight head priest, dark brown beard, white fellow not old, a really nice guy, too. The church had to be in or near the Ravenswood area where we lived or close by but maybe not in Ravenswood. The church looked older (surely was not new).
Wish I could remember more to assist in this quest. Ask me and I will try.
I do remember that the Bishop of that church was Black, tho, and he did the ceremony. I mention this in hopes of jogging someone's memory that maybe was there around that time. The Bishop did not live in Chicago, tho, and came in from another city for the Easter season when we had the christening.
If anyone can supply a name of an Episcopal church that existed around 1979 in innercity Chicago, I would appreciate it. I need to track this record down for him.
Thank you,

TootsieWootsie

There are about 50 Episcopalian churches in Chicago with half being in the "inner city." I have no idea which one it would be other than the one in Ravenswood.

I belong to All Saints' and you could call the office and ask. They might have a lead for you.
