If you’ve ever been in any doubt about the real religion of modern day Wales, take a trip to Cardiff and experience at first hand the giant excavations and legions of builders of the Saint David’s 2 project.

The project is basically a £675,000,000 redevelopment ‘the heart of Cardiff’. A new library and ‘improvements to the public realm’ (whatever that is - nicer streets?) will be delivered but the key to this is undoubtedly the building of an enormous new shopping centre that would put medieval Cathedral builders to shame in its scope and structure.

Impressive - Yes!

Economically sound - I’m sure it is.

Soulless - without a doubt!

If only we could put our efforts and abilities into the development of something less economically and more spiritually rewarding.

…now we build shops.
