A Cat among the pigeons
The heritage we are loosing my friends is not built out of bricks and mortar - no.
The valuable heritage that is disappearing before our very eyes is our Christian Heritage itself.
Do I care about Christchurch Cathedral? - well it is kind of sad to see its end but not nearly as sad as living in a culture that has turned its face from God and its back on its really important heritage. And without the faith that built it in the first place it is a big nothing.

Christ Church Cathedral has been issued with a demolition notice in a move criticised as "appalling" and "profoundly disturbing".I wonder how many of those who find this "appalling" and "profoundly disturbing" actually used this building for the purpose for which it was built?
The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) issued the full demolition notice on Friday afternoon, just hours after a press conference where cathedral leaders announced plans for partial demolition and work to make the earthquake-damaged building safe.
