Mike King has begun his official visit here with a visit to Church HQ, temporarily located in a private house as the city centre is still sealed off. He also joined an ecumenical meeting of those with responsibility for earthquake response. The map shows in red the area where people have been told they must leave their homes. The stories shared at the meeting were very moving. So was the deep sense that people here are weary, stressed, uncertain and over-stretched. Quakes are expected to continue - as they have in the last 12 months - every few days for the next 30 years. Steve
