Church fire that consumed Group of Seven murals was 'heart-wrenching': priest

As investigators work to determine the cause of a devastating fire at a historic Toronto church, community members and art experts are mourning the loss of a sacred space that housed unique artwork by members of the Group of Seven.

The Sunday morning blaze caused massive damage at St. Anne's Anglican Church, a national historic site where "extraordinary" early paintings by three Group of Seven members and other prominent Canadian artists were installed along the interior in the 1920s.
