St. John’s Church of the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East A synopsis of the history of St. John Church.
June, 2017 marked the 50 year anniversary of the opening of St. John’s Church at its present location, 1421 W. Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The previous location of the Church was at 2247 N. Halsted Street, Chicago, Illinois.
The Church was established in 1943 as a result of a dispute dating back to the early 1930s between members of the Church of the East. The dispute finally culminated in splitting the members into two factions, those pledging allegiance to Mar Eshai Shimun and the second group promising loyalty to Rev. Sadook de Mar Shimun, the majority of whom were English speaking Assyrians.
