- Good Friday + Easter: my church did a processional and musical re-enacting the events of Good Friday, right in the heart of downtown Sydney. The media came out in droves. The musical presented the Jesus story set in colonial Oz, where Jesus is a bush preacher from the outback, turns swamp water into beer when the wedding barbeque runs dry, upsets the stuffy clergymen, and gets executed on grounds of sedition and rebellion against the Queen as the crowd cries "kill the king of the bush!". It was an interesting study into the relevance of the Gospel contextualized.
