Creative Destruction (with dialogue)

I feel there is a lesson for the church in this story: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/08/elderly-woman-ruins-19th-century-fresco-in-restoration-attempt/

Maybe, when we feel motivated toward "creative destruction," we should all talk about it together before one person makes a decision to "go and do something about it."
