Introduction
The Maori Church here refers to St Faith's Church in the lakeside Maori village of Ohinemutu, Rotorua, built in 1910. It is famed for Maori woodcarving and stained glass, above all the window showing Christ in a Maori cloak walking on Lake Rotorua; the church sits beside steaming thermal ground and a Maori cemetery — a unique meeting of culture and geothermal landscape.
