Dear Sir/Madam,
NOTRE DAME FOR EVERYONE!
I
was interested to learn that, despite its monopolisation by Roman
Catholics, Notre Dame is owned not by the Vatican but by the French
Government.
With French President
Emmanuel Macron having already signalled that he is open to new ideas
for rebuilding the Cathedral, perhaps it is time to consider
reconstructing it as a multi-faith centre for use by all. For example.
the incorporation of a minaret in place of the destroyed spire would be
of use to Muslims, whilst the provision of a cafe or restaurant would be
in the spirit of
Laïcité, the secularism on which the French
state is founded, and would appeal to persons of all faiths and none
especially if dietary regimes like Kosher, Halal and Veganism were to be
catered for.
