Using this theme we are to represent the all-encompassing community values of "diversity, respect and inclusion". Our mission statement is to achieve a world with the DENOMINATIONS UNITED.
The group comprised of DJ Mark Alsop as his representation of "God" spinning discs from heaven's console in the sky, atop a representation of a 'religiou$' multimedia empire. The Surry Hillsong bus was involved to transport believers from the parade Start Area near Central Station to the place of worship, our sister multimedia empire 'Jox Studios'.
150 believers made a choreographed pilgrimage in costume. Each worshipper was responsible for creating a costume of his/her choice. This costume is related to any religious reference - for example Christian, Shinto, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Mormon, Catholic, Muslim, a cult or a famous/infamous religious character. And there was SECTS in the parade this year! DIRTY, SECTSY DENOMINATIONS. The costumes were designed around each pilgrims budget and sensibilities. Therefore there was a diverse range of extravagant, reverential, cheeky and $2 Variety Store "cheap and cheery" outfits. Anything religious was possible. Groups of friends participating around their own theme also participated. For example the greek/roman gods, a choir, satanic rituals and scientology.
God loves and respects the will of every person on earth, but it is man who twists and interprets God's will to fit human needs.
Romans 16:20
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
