text: As I write this on a glorious October day, I'm sitting on a bench outside the Anglican cathedral here in London, Ontario. I can hear the organist practising inside, but the doors are unfortunately locked because of renovations in progress.
  
  The Roman Catholic and Anglican dioceses in Southwestern Ontario were established in 1856 and 1857 respectively. The two cathedrals, St Peter's and St Paul's, are situated in neighbouring blocks, barely a hundred yards apart.
  
  Until about fifty years ago, relations between the two cathedrals were polite but distant. Now they are extremely friendly. The two cathedrals co-operate in running a food bank and fellowship centre, and a prominent Catholic lawyer now chairs its board.
