A sermon given on Pentecost Sunday, June 5, 2022, at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Roanoke, Alabama.Principal text: Acts 2:1-21Pentecost is considered the birth of the church. In the midst of the cacophony of wind and flame, the apostles received the gift of being understood. It was so remarkable that the crowd accused them of being drunk. But wine was not to blame, but the Holy Spirit. Right now in our country, we are speaking the same language, but we don’t seem to have much understanding going on. This Pentecost reminds us of the gift of the Holy Spirit that allows us to speak to be understood and listen to understand. This is a public episode.
