Vibrant Christian Singing Circle

There’s this group of super earnest and spirited young people (and a few middle aged hangers on) who gather in a circle outside of the Skycity Metro Starbucks and just kind of gently sway together while belting out extremely passionate songs of praise. Intermittently their ‘leader’ will kind of belt out a bit of prayer or something (first in English, then in some Asian language (apologies that I don’t know which)) and you get the feeling that he is seriously channelling the spirt of god. It’s very very awesome. You can even get meta on the whole situation and watch the people who are watching them and kind of muttering in some non-​descript discouraging way. I don’t know if they have regular hours. Usually they’re ‘rocking out’ on the weekend. Oh yeah, sometimes they have a guitar! Oh and when the traveling band of Hare Krishnas are trolling up and down Queen street art the same time, and try to out-​worship each other and they coalesce into this extremely loud spiritual cluster bomb. It’s great. Also love how youthful and hopeful and downright sunny they are compared to the dour and desperate vegan activists who perch up on the other side of that Woody Allen looking statue.
Five star street theatre with opportunity for interactivity if you’re into god and that.
