CHICAGO (WLS) -- The pastor at Pilgrim Faith United Church of Christ in Chicago's Oak Lawn neighborhood said he's not aware of any specific threat directed at his congregation, but in the wake of last week's Capitol Hill riot, he's not taking chances.
"We have to be diligent and not think that we're ok," said Pastor James Bowman Harris.
Pastor Harris announced Saturday that the church will be closed for the next week after a warning from national leadership.
"Because we are deemed a liberal congregation, a liberal type of denomination and church, that there are threats to other churches, other UCC churches," he said.
