Rolf Mason, Curate at St Luke's, preaches on Pentecost 2020, 31 May, based on the reading from Acts 2:1-21. This sermon came amidst the protests and riots in the USA, which had begun to spread to other countries. The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has been described as murder. This sermon picks up the universal nature of the gospel - the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Jesus, was poured out on all people. There is no place for racism in the church or amongst Christians. Pentecost is also a day chosen by God because of its relationship to harvest and the law - things Jesus talked about.
The service also included a self-penned monologue by our Reader, Barbara Hardy, read from the perspective of Peter.
