Demolition of the Catholic Cathedral in an extremely insensitive manner:

I received this in an email at the end of the week. It seems amazing that there seems to be no great effort made to save many of the artifacts in the Cathedral building. I bet Paddy Snowdon would get them out if asked.

This could be another example of Health and Safety being used to destroy yet more of Christchurch’s heritage.

Rosemary adds – What a disappointment we did not look beyond restoring (or not) old Cathedrals to new ways of making connections across the diversity that we now celebrate in contemporary Christchurch…
