U.S. House pass spending bill to help build education center, gospel museum at the sites of 2 Chicago churches destroyed by fire
CHICAGO (CBS) – A big financial shot in the arm for two high-profile Chicago churches trying to rebuild from devastating fires.
The Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Englewood went up in flames last April.
Lawmakers in the U.S. House have passed a spending bill that would give $4 million to help rebuild the church's education center.
The bill also provides a half-million dollars to help build a national museum of gospel music at the site of the former Pilgrim Baptist Church in Bronzeville – which burned in 2006.
The spending bill still needs Senate approval.
