St Faiths Anglican Church, Ohinemutu, Rotorua

Ohinemutu Maori Village, Rotorua ~ a mock-Tudor style church completed in 1885.

  

The burial crypts are above ground because of the geothermal activity underneath Ohinemutu and on the shores of Lake Rotorua ~


The stained glass window shows Christ wearing a traditional Maori cloak who appears to be walking on the waters of Lake Rotorua ~


Tamatekapua meeting house(Ohinemutu Marae) along side the church ~


Sir Howard Morrison lay in state at Tamatekapua (his home Marae)~

    I've just discovered this site and really like the photos and directions. Thank you. Any chance of more country churches being added?

      Thank you for your comment which I have only just seen. I've now just returned to the blog after quite a hiatus & while I have continued to take church photos I haven't added them here. I'm going to try to get this rolling again but in the meantime you might like to visit my Flickr photos & in particular the Country Church set.
