One wag claimed Pentecost is “the scariest day of the Christian year for mainline Protestants and those like us.” Pentecost! What if it happened here and now like it happened then and there? How might our lives be changed if God got loose today? What if people started speaking in strange tongues, or waving their arms in the air, dancing in the aisles or passing out in spiritual ecstasy? What if someone actually yelled out loud, “Amen!?” Why do we continue to be plagued by so many differences? Why do faces and names and places and ideas that are different from our own bring such fear?
Come together, you wild and varied church members! Let's see what might happen if we all showed up and the Spirit of God met us here ...
