The Feast of Pentecost is one of the great Feasts of the Christian Year, marking the fiftieth day of Eastertide. The risen Christ leaves us not comfortless – for God gives us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to bring comfort and consolation to a world in all its fragility and need. This podcast arises out of a collaboration between the University Church, the Cathedral and students from many Colleges of the University. The Revd Professor Simon Oliver, the Van Mildert Professor, University of Durham, will give a University Sermon.
