Summary
[edit]DescriptionSt Michael and All Angels repair work.jpg |
6 August 2013, Christchurch New Zealand. When I was walking past this Church, 'Church of St Michael and All Angels', I noticed the door was open. So thought I would have a look in. They were doing the earthquake repairs so I took a quick look around. The wooden building survived three major earthquakes in 2010/11 almost unscathed and is the only Anglican church that remained in use in the central city. The plans had been drawn with regard to the threat of tremors. At a meeting of parishioners held on 14 December 1869, the general concept for the new church was agreed on, including the building material: "Owing to the late severe shocks of earthquake the vestry came to the conclusion that it would be useless to attempt building any part of stone. Therefore it was decided that wood should be the material."The earthquake referred to was the one that hit Christchurch on 5 June 1869, with Julius von Haast giving some scientific commentary. St John's Church in Hereford Street, the first Anglican church in Christchurch built of permanent materials in 1864–1865, was damaged in that earthquake. The earthquake, centred under Addington or Spreydon, had an estimated magnitude of 5 and a ground shaking intensity of MMI 7. In March 2011, a Lenten service at St Michael’s and All Angels Church was attended by Victoria Matthews, Bishop of Christchurch, and Kevin Rudd, Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs. As part of the service, Rudd lit a candle in memory of those who died in the 22 February 2011 earthquake. The original 1872 Bevington pipe organ was damaged in the 22 February earthquake and was subsequently removed for repairs. The church is fund-raising to help meet the NZ$500,000 organ restoration cost.The temporary replacement is an organ built from parts of instruments damaged during World War II bombing raids on Britain. |
