| Phew! |
I'm not sure the per capita numbers but I would say that Rarotonga must be up there is relation to the number of churches per population. And there are is a smorgasbord of choice too - a veritable buffet of holy houses to suit all your spiritual needs. Out on a Sunday drive yesterday Joshua mentioned that Father Freddy, a Catholic priest, rode around on a Ducatti motorcycle and enjoyed a 50 inch flat screen TV, complete with SKY TV! Not quite sure how Josh got to know these things, and I must remember to question him further on that... but anyway, that still doesn't sit right with me...the apparent lap of luxury that Father Freddy is enjoying I mean. I hope he isn't expecting to ride his Ducatti through the eye of a needle anytime soon...?
Regardless, the churches do make for some fine scenery, a selection of which I have included here.
 |
| The Holy Spirit Revival Church |
 |
| One of the many SDA churches on Rarotonga |
 |
| Not all the churches are big lavish affairs - nor should they be in my mind... |
 |
| "One of these things is not like the other..." The Bahaii Faith Church, I like what I hear... |
 |
| Oozes street appeal! |
 |
| The Cook Islands Christian Church |
 |
| St Pauls: Catholic |
 |
| Seventh Day Adventists (SDA). They would never do me as Saturday is their Sabbath so no sport! |
 |
| Jehovah's Witnesses. How they stay so pristine riding their bikes around the island I'll never know! You almost want to invite them in out of sympathy...almost! |
 |
| Cook Islands Christian Church. This was near to where we lived in Arorangiand we could hear the rally call of the bells and subsequent choir singing - beautiful. |
 |
| St Mary's Catholic Church. We've frequented this one several times before deciding it was just too hard taking the kids. |
 |
| St Josephs Catholic church in town. We started off going to this one but decided on the one closer to home. |
