 In 2004, the perspex cross was moved temporarily (and initially) to the crypt to accommodate a production of the bi-annual Otago Festival of the Arts.Finally, a decision was reached by the then Dean Trevor James to restore the perspex cross to the sanctuary, and it was returned to its position at the end of 2009.In 1989, St Paul's received attention when Penny Jamieson was consecrated and enthroned as Bishop of Dunedin.
