More pictures...hahahaaaa...
After I left my 2 hitch hiking partners at the ferry in Wellington, I went straight to the old Anglican church. It was a Sunday and I wanted to feel less alone (first time in 5 months without my team where I knew that they wouldn't be back) and to remind myself that God was still with me, plus I felt a little guilty about missing church. So I walked into this ordinary looking on the outside church and was completely blown away. I had discovered this tourist spot in a flyer of what to see in Welly. So I walk in and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It had a peaceful and warm atmosphere to it. It was wooden interior with all stained glass windows and dark red carpet and pew seats.
The above pic was with a flash, of the pulpit.
The above picture is a small part of the pulpit, I took it with the natural light to keep the atmosphere. Below is one of my favorites of the windows, which were all late 1890's to early 1900's.
I believe that the above window was the angels announcing the birth of Jesus. The next one is I believe Peter's redemption after the resurrection, you can't see the holes in the hands because of the size of the picture, but the writing under the picture says "Lord thou knowest all things thou knowest that I love thee". 
Below is the front of the church. The middle window is I believe Jesus on the cross and on either side in their own windows are the 12 disciples, however Judas doesn't have a window, he was replaced by his replacement (if that makes sense).
Below is the angel at the grave after the resurrection . I loved this one too.
In contrast to the above church, which I totally felt God's presence in. It was a very humble feeling church, made you feel humble. I now show the Anglican cathedral in Nelson. Very imposing and stands out, across town you can see it, beautiful architecture though. Below is the bell tower.
This is the inside. It had a very different feel to it. It felt cold, distant, and imposing. As opposed to the warm, inviting, open feeling in Wellington. Again, it was beautiful.
This was the pipe part of the pipe organ, the organ is behind me and up some stairs. As you can see by the blurry head, it was HUGE.
