Rubble to Resurrection: Churches Respond in the Canterbury Quakes

Author(s): Melissa Parsons

True Stories | New Zealand Authors

Previously untold stories of the churches' response in the earthquakes which struck the greater Christchurch region between September 2010 and December 2011 - one of the largest natural disasters in New Zealand history. How did the churches themselves fare? How did the ordinary folk in the pews reach out to their suffering neighbours? How can leassons from this experience be of benefit in the future?
