Just to say: * All issues are welcome on this list. Religion is not taboo either. * Those who do not wish to support the Church repairs project are under no compulsion to do so. Likewise, those who see it as a worthy cause, are free to support it. * I know that this issue is a priority for some of our villagers, and we respect their sentiments. * A. Isa and my neighbour Olanda Sequeira (David, Luke and Ruth's mum who teaches at St Mary's) had passed on printed appeals over the issue. To circulate the same over Saligaonet, we need the same in plain-text format. Could someone who has the appeal please post it to the list?
Just a clarification to reply to Dilip da Cruz. This list is non-denominational and open to all. To me, it doesn't make sense to block out religious issues ... but just be sensitive and discuss things in a way that doesn't offend others. Kevin, I'm no expert on this, but I don't think the State would fund the maintenance of a church. The State has spent money on illumination, but I think that's done on the rationale of promoting tourism.
