Move to rebuild Cathedral

From New Zealand-

Anglicans have taken the next step in the process to rebuild their shattered Christ Church Cathedral.

The Anglican Diocese submitted initial drafts of its plan to make the city's quake-damaged icon safe to the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority late yesterday afternoon.

Cera required cathedral authorities to come up with a "make-safe" plan before further options for the building, such as a complete demolition or partial rebuilding, could be considered.

Dean Peter Beck confirmed the plans submitted to Cera included the "minimum amount of demolition" needed to allow the safe removal of "treasures and taonga" from the building. He expected engineers engaged by the cathedral would provide the "best possible advice" to enable the diocese to decide on the future of the building.
