The Bush Deacon–Dcn Josh Clayton–Country Shows (Deacon Josh notes that we are in country show season in the leadup to the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Josh says that country shows are renowned for their hospitality, bringing the community together to celebrate and promote the many activities of the local area. Among the strengths of the country show is the ability to welcome the newcomer, celebrate achievements and recognise and respect the difficult times since the last show. This makes Deacon Josh think about our own faith communities and how we welcome the stranger as well as the old-timers, support each other by celebrating achievements and acknowledging the difficult circumstances, and maybe our church communities can learn a lot from how we celebrate the local agricultural show so we can also be a grand-champion parish community this Easter.)
