Overhaul

This article was full of verbatim copy and pastings from the Cathedral's website with hardly any attempts to even rewrite or paraphrase. That is copyvio. I have thus pulled those sections as well as trivial, non-necessary info (e.g. service times) and tagged this article for expansion. BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 16:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Addition

I added some info available from the church's publication (NOT copied verbatim!) and a book about the church (but I neglected to ask for the relevant info when I received it). Next time I'm walking past the church I will ask to see the book again. Hanenosuke (talk) 11:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Hanenosuke[reply]

All other land tenure in Hong Kong is leasehold

"All other land tenure in Hong Kong is leasehold" - this claim is often made. But this source says the university is also freehold. Is this still the case?
