- Brothers, sisters, good God.
- [All] Good God!
- Brother Garry really likes to hug after a prayer session.
He is pure of mind and spirit.
Very affectionate.
- Brother Garry, how 'bout you get along with the gardening?
- Loves gardening.
- We became disillusioned with all the major religions.
The lies, the hypocrisy, the Chinese whispers.
- Asian Australian whispers!
- Asian Australian whispers.
One of our members, Sister Mary, studied design.
I used to study, I studied religion,
I used to be a Bible salesman, and after that--
- And I used to be a Tammy Wynette impersonator.
But five years ago, Brother Aaron received an omen
at the exact same time I had a vision
to follow the one true path.
- God ordained us under the holy number of 17
to lead mankind like a beacon in the dark.
- So, when you approached us about doing a web series
about our community, well we just saw this
as a perfect opportunity to share the word of good God.
- And to encourage others to follow our lead.
You see, we work hard, early to bed, early to rise.
- We don't smoke, we don't swear,
when we stub our toe we shout ship!
- Our F word is fun, you see there's more fun in that.
- Yeah.
- So this is our community meeting place
where everything happens.
- Hi Sister Lorie. - Hey, how are ya?
- Sister Tammy.
- Of course as you know, we work together,
we pray together, we sleep together.
- We're all one with oneness here.
We even share in our daily chores together as one.
- Some more than others!
- Why don't you go and have a look inside
what's happening in the kitchen?
- Yeah, okay, this is where the real magic happens,
how we going in there brother?
So we get together as a community every day,
we discuss some of the issues in the community
and probably, more importantly--
- Sister Tammy?
Sorry to interrupt guys,
there's somebody here to see you guys.
- Oh, great. - Oh okay, thank you.
Welcome brother.
- Mr. and Mrs. Bilch?
- Well this is Brother Aaron and I am Sister Tammy.
- Don't worry about the cameras.
- I'm from the ATO, we have it on file that your church--
- Murch. - What?
- Mosque, church, murch, we follow the one true path.
- Praise be.
- We have it on file that your last murch
was destroyed by lightning.
- No, that was fire.
- And the one before that-- - Lightning.
- And the one before that-- - Sinkhole.
- Such a shame.
- So where do you pray now?
- Outside, at our prayer circle.
- All around us.
- We don't recognize a place of worship
unless it's part of a permanent structure.
You have one month to source one inside
or we take away your charity status.
- We adhere to a higher law.
- Then you'll lose your tax concessions.
(loud crashing)
- Ship.
- Oh Brother Garry.
- We need a new murch, now I know you're gonna miss
our old prayer circle--
- No. - Not a bit.
- But despite the omen God gave us
by destroying our last murch-- - Three times!
- Three positive omens, and according to the ATO
we need a new place of worship.
- I thought we only listened to the word of God.
- Well he has-- - Or she!
- Or she has spoken through a government official.
- We could share with the Jewslims across the road?
- What, those religious nuts?
Nope, nope, we need our own place.
- [Sister Candy] Why don't we just convert the dining hall?
- [Aaron] Maybe.
- This doesn't look a place of worship.
- Yeah Garry's room's like right there.
- No, no, actually, that actually might work.
I mean I know that it would need a bit of work but,
I think, no, I am sure that we can do this.
- Yes we can put an altar in the corner,
and pews down the middle.
- Well, no, no, no, the altar has to go in the middle
and pews around it, that's the only way--
(chattering and bickering)
- Brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters,
remember our breathing.
- Okay, okay, why don't we come up with a concept
that we're all happy with?
- I'll start working on a new design.
- Thank you Sister Mary.
- Wait!
I'd like to design the next murch.
- Brother Steve you studied business.
- Doesn't mean I can't design a place of prayer.
- Actually it does.
- Us new members don't have any input.
You founding members, you get to decide everything.
And it's not fair.
- All right, all right, so who here would actually like
to design our new murch?
- [Brother Snoop] No Garry, don't.
- Okay, now Sister Mary, you've designed the last three.
Now I think that there might be a little bit of inequality
that is occurring between our old members and our new
that we need to balance out.
So I think that it is only fair
that we let Brother Steve have a chance.
- Okay, okay, well why don't you both come up with a design
and then we'll vote?
- That's a great idea, okay, fantastic, good God!
- [All] Good God!
- Leaders!
(laughing)
No, no, no, we're not the leaders,
in our community we're all the leaders.
- Absolutely, or followers.
- Or followers, yep, no, we wanted to give Brother Steve
an equal opportunity to express himself,
and that's why we're holding this election.
- Well of course, I mean, equal opportunity for all
is one of our core beliefs, so it's responsibility
for each and every one of us, everyone,
to correct any inequality that may occur.
- Or may not occur. - Or may not occur.
- In conclusion, this is a practical
and elegant design, thank you.
(clapping)
Thank you.
- Thank you Sister Mary.
Now, this may not be exactly what we end up with,
but it represents what we as a community want.
Now my design will be big, beautiful, and fun.
(amazed gasps)
(clapping)
- Brother Steve, have you calculated
the differential pressures affecting
the structural integrity of the pulpit?
- Maybe. - And what's this?
- A wall. - What kind of wall?
A load bearing wall, a structural or--
- I can build a wall if I wish to build a wall.
- No you can't actually, it's a--
- Yes I can, I'm gonna build a great murch.
- What does that even mean?
- I'm going to make murch great again!
(clapping)
- Thank you Brother Steve.
All right, so, all of those in favor
of Sister Mary's design.
- [Garry] I'll have an ice cream.
- Thank you Brother Garry.
And all of those in favor of Brother Steve's?
Okay, so it's decided,
we'll be going with Brother Steve's design.
(clapping and cheering)
- [All] Praise good God, praise good God, praise good God!
Praise good God, praise good God!
- I look after the vegetable garden.
Water the vegetables, make sure they grow,
pull out the weeds,
but this is a, it's a good place.
There's always been an imbalance on big decisions here,
and I say it's time for change.
No I think the design of the murch is very, very important.
(loud crashing)
- Brother Steve's design didn't work out.
- Well no, no, no, no, so, no,
so we encouraged him to simplify it.
- We felt that a minimalist approach would be safer.
- And I think you're gonna find we've come up
with a pretty elegant space.
- Yeah.
- Praise good God?
