I have no wish to be subject to further rule of the Wizard over my time :)Peter Carrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535218286799156659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-74550393833050431372012-06-07T11:29:06.645+12:002012-06-07T11:29:06.645+12:00Peter, you observe that not even the Queen is goin...Peter, you observe that not even the Queen is going to change John Key's mind about the disposition of the Cathedral ruins. And that is as it should be. Her Gracious Majesty has enough to deal with on her own patch in the U.K.<br /><br />I'm surprised you didn't mention the scurrilous paid advertisement (paid by whom, I wonder) placed by His Malevolence, 'The Wizard', in today's Press. His posing of God against the Powers of Evil can be presumed to represent our Bishop on one side and himself on the other. Quite apposite, I think, in the circumstances.<br /><br />I know which 'pointy hat' I would sooner throw in my lot with.Father Ron Smithhttp://kiwianglo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-54518288613521839852012-06-07T05:11:04.591+12:002012-06-07T05:11:04.591+12:00All suggestions, whether of the utilitarian or aes...All suggestions, whether of the utilitarian or aesthetic kind are welcomed here :)Peter Carrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535218286799156659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-20417717445072045952012-06-07T01:29:49.314+12:002012-06-07T01:29:49.314+12:00I think that one would want to save what one can f...I think that one would want to save what one can from the old cathedral and incorporate these pieces into the new cathedral, e.g., stained glass, statues, memorials, etc. Even a modern or post-modern structure can incorporate Gothic Revival elements if it is done creatively.<br /><br />For example, take St. Thomas Dupont Circle in Washington, DC:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYvtjr0C-yM<br /><br />Kurt Hill<br />Brooklyn, NYKurtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-87445720482153608212012-06-06T23:21:01.063+12:002012-06-06T23:21:01.063+12:00If you're looking for one cathedral to rule th...If you're looking for one cathedral to rule them all, perhaps one of these designs would be appropriate?<br /><br />http://www.gamereactor.eu/media/95/lotrolaajeneetaas_229578.jpg<br />http://mayvin.be/gallery/HelmsDeep_beauty_001.jpgAndrew Reidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-4769968885417055692012-06-06T18:20:11.753+12:002012-06-06T18:20:11.753+12:00Well, Andy, they built the Addington "Field o...Well, Andy, they built the Addington "Field of Dreams" cathedral, and people are coming to it!Peter Carrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09535218286799156659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-57156822010589096672012-06-06T16:47:42.084+12:002012-06-06T16:47:42.084+12:00Peter said: "Perhaps we will only find it whe...Peter said: "Perhaps we will only find it when we build it!"<br /><br />So following on from that line of thought...<br /><br />If we build it will they come?
