What Is The Point

I've been at a loss for words ever since I spotted the new addition to St Ann's Cathedral. The Spire of Hope was ascended to above the cathedral in April 2007. I personally think it is an eyesore on what is a magnificent building, It is a total waste money (in my opinion)that could have been put to better use. I don't believe any reason can justify the cost of this monstrosity.
Every year coming up to Christmas I get encouraged and inspired by the generosity of the people of this land, in the giving to the Black Santa, who without fail, (hail, rain or snow) is collecting money for the needy outside the cathedral. Whether or not you agree with The Spire of Hope, this year like all years, the needy will still be the needy, so give what you can this Christmas.

I couldn't agree more!! Not only does the monstrousity not fit in with the architecture of the Cathedral, it infuriates me when I think of the money wasted erecting it.

The money would have been better spent providing shelter for homeless people or a specialised hospital ward. Maybe their is "hope" for the idiots who wasted money builing this eyesore!
