- Pentecost is often missed
- 10 weeks after lockdown, we have travelled from Mothering Sunday, Holy Week, Easter and Ascension Day to arrive here at Pentecost and the birth of the Church
- Difficulty with Pentecost and the blockbuster description of events Experience of God has been dramatic at times but often not like that described in Acts
- Luke sees this not as a moment of ecstatic praying but communication of the wonder of God and the great news of Jesus
- We belong to one global community, not little competing religious groupings.
- The Spirit allows us to speak in the language of everyday like those first disciples of the wonders of God
- Wonders seen in the greatest of scientific discoveries and a key worker doing their job.
- Wonders seen in the great sweep of history and the simple story of a carpenter who dies on a cross
