    The years of debate over whether the ruins of the Christ Church Cathedral should be rebuilt or demolished after crumbling during an earthquake came to symbolize the paralysis that has sometimes afflicted the broader rebuild of the city of Christchurch.http://apne.ws/Csviip1

        Years too late in my opinion. Paris was started immediately.

        I wasn't even aware of a campaign to rebuild. Was there about three years ago . . . just contributed, even though I'm not Catholic. Challenging others to do the same. It's an important place for many people of faith.

        With luck, they will finish building before Sagrada Familia https://sagradafamilia.org/en/history-of-the-temple …

        Having read the story, I don't get the impression of paraysis but rather considered and thoughtful approach to rebuilding. 🤷🏻‍♂️

        I’m neither a New Zealander, nor a person of faith, but I say rebuild, because it is both a religious and cultural landmark in NZ. It should be declared a national landmark, worthy of preservation.

        Worst thing about this, & again such a symbol of the ineptitude of the rebuild. Is while they were bickering to save or not to save, they never bothered to wrap it to protect it unlike many other buildings. So 10 years of rain, some snowstorms, pigeons, etc destroyed it further..
