The Rev David Wyatt's Seven Deadly Sins

'A vicar's job is to care for people who will one day go to heaven; buildings don't go to heaven.' This way of thinking is 'spiritual blindness', says The Rev David Wyatt. For him it represents the most insidious of the 'seven deadly sins', or attitudes of mind, which threaten Manchester's heritage of fine Victorian churches. The citizens of Manchester built no less than 76 churches during the Victorian era, but only 24 of them are still standing. When David Wyatt arrived in Salford he found his church about to be demolished. Today, after years of painstaking restoration, it survives as an inspiration to groups of Christians in parishes all over Manchester who are struggling to keep their churches open for worship.
