The Huffington Post website reports that Anglican leaders in the city of Christ Church, New Zealand today (April 16, 2012) announced plans to build a soaring 82-foot-high cathedral with 104 tubes of cardboard as a temporary replacement of the iconic stone Christ Church Cathedral, which was destroyed last year in an earthquake that killed 185 people.
The temporary cathedral will cost about $4.1 million.
It will include traditional structural materials -- like concrete and steel -- as well as a polycarbonate roof.
The Rev. Craig Dixon said it will be weatherproof and fire-resistant.
