[Anglican Communion News Service] Rescue efforts following the magnitude 6.4 earthquake which struck the eastern Taiwanese county of Hualien last week have been called off, with a confirmed death toll of 17.

Four high-rise buildings have collapsed and there has been “much damage to local infrastructure and buildings,” Episcopal Church Bishop of Taiwan David Lai has said. St Luke’s Church in Hualien suffered damaged – including the destruction of its glass altar table. The church, like many in Taiwan, is at the base of a high-building with apartments above it. It is not one of those to have suffered structural damage.
