Formal opening of the chapel. THE TURAKINA CHAPEL Photographed by the Publicity Committee of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand. Some of the finest Maori decoration of modern times has been made for churches and chapels. Well-known are the buildings at Rotorua, Wanganui, Otaki, Ruatoki and Tikitiki. They show how artistic traditions originating in the stone-age found their place in the worship of the new religion, Christianity. Because Christianity is preached as a universal religion, every race can express its worship in its own language and its own art. The latest place of worship decorated with Maori carving, tukutuku and kowhaiwhai is the new chapel at Turakina Maori Girls' College. This is the first chapel built by the Presbyterian Church in this style.
