Pastor’s Letter May 18/19 The Miracle Of Understanding Dear Parish Family, The story of Pentecost in the Acts of the Apostles describes a remarkable scene. The gathered crowd, speaking many different languages, suddenly understands both the disciples and each other. The crowd is not only divided by language but also by politics, economics, and religion. Some groups are long-standing enemies. You will notice in the story that it does not say that the disciples or the crowd suddenly became remarkable linguists. Rather, the story tells us that even though they spoke different languages they understood one another. Even though they were from so many different towns and nations and some were old enemies and rivals, they suddenly understood one another. Right here in our parish community we speak many different languages. It is not uncommon to hear English, Spanish, Italian, Polish, and many others spoken by members of our community. Sometimes these languages enrich us. But when we don’t understand the language of another it can divide us. And there are other kinds of languages spoken here which can also enrich or divide: There is the language of the young and the language of the old, the language of the poor and the language of the wealthy, the language of singles and the language of couples, the language or parents and the language of teenagers. I am sure you get the idea. We have all had the experience in families and workplaces of feeling that, from the response of our audience, we might as well be speaking a foreign language. The temptation, of course, is to think that I alone speak clearly — everyone else needs a hearing aid! The miracle of Pentecost is a miracle of understanding. It seems to come so naturally to the gathered crowd that day. They receive it as an unexpected gift. Sometimes we too suddenly understand others. Other times we need to work at it. Understanding begins with the desire to understand and to be one with all those seemingly different people who surround us. If Pentecost is the birthday, the beginning of the church, then the church begins with understanding. The church begins wherever people are and wherever understanding happens. It begins in families, among nations, and among the many cultures, orientations, ways of life, and stages of life that surround us. Understanding is a gift of love. It stands against all that divides us. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A.
