Pentecost redeems the Tower of Babel. The people no longer seek to
reach up to heaven to find God, but celebrate the inbreathing of the
Holy Spirit. From God-Out-There, to God-Everywhere.
A multiplicity of languages is no longer designed to confuse, but to
spread the news. Diversity is to be celebrated: everyone is invited to
the party.
Celebrate Pentecost in ways that have meaning for your own
particular community, whether this is wearing red, waving banners or a
quiet recognition that the church is not a building, but the people who
gather in it.
Don’t run away from the mystery. Acknowledge it, embrace it, and let it change our lives.
