[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS alum, who grew up Episcopalian and loves the Cathedral, here. I’m thoroughly on the “the Cathedral needs money to fix the earthquake damage” side instead of “Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple” side. Although many good friends who also love the Cathedral have that opinion and I respect it.

[b]There’s a lot of misinformation in this thread.[/b] The upstairs space is nowhere near as large as the nave (just look at the thing - the upstairs space just the two towers on the west side) so it is not a substitute for the nave space.

And the Cathedral did not hold these paid events, or charge admission, or have a weekly congregation until after the earthquake. All of this is a direct response to a disaster and a critical lack of funds to fix the damage. What are you supposed to do you when God doesn’t provide?[/quote]

Where is the misinformation?  I talked about the upstairs social rooms, and I attend a rather large dinner and reception on the entire top floor.  Yes, certainly that space is not as big as the Nave!  What space would be?  I never said it was.  But the leadership didn’t  HAVE to have a gigantic “Prom” unless it’s all about making money and allowing more people in to oooh and ahhh at the strobe lights bouncing off the Nave ceiling.

And the critical repair work to the Cathedral IS DONE.  The rest is cosmetic, and although not ideal with proper leadership they could secure funding.  [/quote]
