  • Caption Robert Fryerson, 8, holds hands with elder members of Blooming Rose Deliverance Church in Englewood. Religious faith is as much a pillar of Chicago as the pizza, politics and never-say-die baseball the city is famous for. The forms and varieties of Chicago's spiritual beliefs are as varied as the city's skyline and just as important to its character and flavor.
