A Church Out of Salvage.
One of the greatest air-raid disasters for the Church in Liverpool was the loss of St. Catherine's, Abercromby Square. But the calamity has been splendidly faced, under the leadership of Canon A. L. Shields. The parish hall has been transformed into a really beautiful church. The stage forms an admirable sanctuary and the fine yreredos -from St. Thomas's -Church makes a magnificent altar piece. Oak panelling, carved woodwork, pews and seats have been obtained from other ruined Churches. ~ Sanctuary candlesticks have been fashioned from curtain poles and the font and lectern out of salvage. All this, illustrates what can be done in the worst circumstances, wheniiearts and hands are willing.
