	Chicago Methodist Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple is a church located at the base and in the upmost floors of the Chicago Temple Building, a skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois.
		It is also the oldest church in Chicago, founded by Methodist circuit riders in 1831, six years before the City of Chicago was incorporated.
		That building served the church until 1858 when the congregation's leaders, acting on a bold new idea, dedicated a four-story, multi-use structure with stores and other businesses on the first two floors and church space for worship and classes on the top two floors.

	The Methodist Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		CHICAGO -- The office of the United Methodist Church's Chicago Bishop is similar in responsibility and influence in the Methodist hierarchy as the office of Cardinal of the Chicago Archdiocese is for the Catholic Church.
		Northern Illinois Methodists are not yet demonstrating in front of the church’s Chicago Temple located across the street from Chicago's City Hall and the Daley Center.
		Because Bishop Sprague has the authority to transfer ministers from church to church, much as the Director of state agencies have the right to transfer employees from location to location, Illinois pastors are concerned that they may experience unwanted changes in their assignments if they participate in the complaint.

	St. Mark United Methodist Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The ongoing journey of St. Mark began over a century ago in 1893, as an expression of the then Methodist Episcopal Church's desire to be in ministry and mission with the burgeoning African-American population of Chicago.
		St. Mark is considered the "Mother Church" among Chicago African-American United Methodists, because it has given birth to over six churches since it's humble beginnings and has served as a positive place of learning for countless clergy and laity who have shared in ministry with us.
		We are Methodists proud to let it be known that as an tangible connection and empowerment for all who join in this journey while always pushing out our boundaries to include still others.
