Sue Spigel was in the Christ Church Cathedral during the 2011 earthquake. A decade on, she has just been reunited with her items.
The Anglicans’ ruling body may have to change its approval terms for restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral to avoid work stopping in October if more funds cannot be found.
When the Anglican Synod approved restoration of the cathedral in 2017, the terms stipulated that each stage could only go ahead if the full funding for that stage was already in place.
At least $103 million is currently in place for the project, which is expected to cost approximately $154m. The first stage, which involves stabilising the cathedral with large steel frames, is under way and will cost $11.8m.
