Can I just add that I agree with Peter Britcliffe's comments (not often you see those words on here
)in this week's Observer when he said that it would not be appropriate to bail St John's out as there will be other churches in need of similar help in the future and it would not be possible to give money to them all.It really is down to the Church of England and the people of the parish.I hope they find a good home for the Pals chapel though,maybe St James in Accy centre would be a good place for it.
