Many people in tech have made, or are about to make, large sums of capital. I want to make a petition for more philanthropy towards historical buildings- specifically Churches Every year, dozens of historical Churches fall into disrepair around Europe. Hundreds of these deconsecrated buildings are up for sale I don't believe you need to be Christian to recognise the value in saving these buildings. You just have to respect history. It is a travesty to see these buildings- that were the cradle of communities and our civilisation- fall into disrepair or even get demolished These Churches should not become financial assets- not yoga studios, not backdrops for light shows, not a rental opportunity. We should allow them to remain as sacred spaces- the preservation of our history is enough When you take on these sorts of projects, people will say, "Oh, but these are money drains! They will just need continuous repair- and you'll have nobody to sell them to!" Consider perhaps that in this you will find the whole point You could save a Church for low six figures. A very wealthy person could save a lot of them. I have taken on one, and it has been one of the most beautiful and meaningful projects of my life
