Maui Information - Maui Churches and Synagogues
Maui is often referred to as a "melting pot" and there are over 50 distinct ethnic groups that have migrated to Maui and now call it home. Many of these cultures brought their own religious beliefs and today the populace of Maui continues to worship varying denominations of Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Hinduism as well as the Hawaiian religion of old.
It is believed that the first people known to make Maui their home migrated here from the Marquises Islands around 600 A.D., although some Hawaiians believe the initial migration was much earlier. This migration was followed by a second from Tahiti around the 12th century. These Polynesians worshipped nature and inherent to all their beliefs was an innate sense of natural balance and order. The Kumulipo is the great chant that records the Hawaiian version of creation. The Hawaiians built temples of worship called heiaus, and the foundations of these temples can still be seen today, preserved as important links to Hawaiian history and culture.
The first missionaries arrived in Hawaii in the 1820's, bringing differing denominations of Christianity as well as western forms of education. They built churches resembling those found in the northeast United States but using native materials such as coral blocks. Many of these churches, with their tall steeples and coral brick walls, are still in use today around the Island.
By the late 1880's Buddhism and Shintoism were both well established in the Islands, brought by the Japanese and Chinese immigrants who came to work on the sugar plantations.
Today, Maui's religious diversity continues to grow as it welcomes new religious groups who share in the beliefs of freedom and tolerance.
