Thank you for posting this.

We were there a couple of years ago and it was really sad seeing the cathedral. I'm happy they're going to rebuild it.

I was surprised to learn that my neighbours young son is a stone mason, as it is such an "old" profession.

Wonderful news.

There is actually a fair bit of work for stone masons around.

That's great news.

But if only some similar love could be shown to the Durham Street Methodist Church.
