Split (in a church) (6)

I believe the answer is:

schism

(Other definitions for schism that I've seen before include "Breach or division within church" , "Breach within a Chruch" , "Dividing of group into opposing factions" , "Difference in religious beliefs within a church" , "Splinter group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
