His yoke would have been easy, had the diocese been less accommodating to outsiders. <br /><br />NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-68737096433942659432017-04-09T12:22:24.766+12:002017-04-09T12:22:24.766+12:00Thank God The Press has now actually published the...Thank God The Press has now actually published the excellent article from the CPT on the real story of the delay to the building of our new Cathedral.

I expressed my clear opinion that the delay in further action on the Cathedral - as being the direct fault - not of the Bishop and CPT, but rather that of the Greater Christchurch Building Trust (GCBT) of which Mr. Burdon happens to be the most outs[poken member. I mentioned that, had it not been for the persistent litigation brought by the GCBT against the Diocese - preventing the CPT from carrying out the wishes of the Diocesan Synod to demolish the Cathedral - the site would now have been well and truly cleared with a new purpose-built, earthquake proofed Cathedral in the middle of our City<br />.<br />I suggested to the Editor in my first letter that there might have been a subtle prejudice on the part of The Press against the Anglican Church with the publication of Burden's article. I suspect that was why neither that letter nor a follow-up letter by me, was published. <br /><br />A cannot but think that The Press is biased in this matter!<br /> Father Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17062632692873621258noreply@blogger.com
