Holy Innocents Episcopal Church, Lehaini Maui Hawaii




This is Holy Innocents Episcopal Church in Lehaini, Maui, Hawaii.  It's very near the beach in Lehaini.  Other than these details, I don't know anything else about this church.

Shingon Buddhist Church, Lehaini Maui Hawaii



This is clearly outside the focus of this blog, but it is included due to the oddity of it being labeled a "church".  This is actually a Buddhist temple, in the common vernacular, which dates back to early Japanese migration to the Hawaiian islands.  The building, which is in the historic district of Lehaini, was built in a church like style, probably reflecting the extensive presence of Christian missionaries on the island prior to the date of its construction, and it is actually called a "church" rather than a temple.
