Stone and Spirit
Sometimes it seems as though the Church and the larger world don’t have anything to say to each other, that they’re not even speaking the same language. But the story of Pentecost reminds us that the Church need not be afraid of the conversations our culture is having, that in fact she enables us to speak and to be understood. In the wake of Pentecost, we can engage our world with love and grace, confident the Spirit has gone before us and is inviting us to join in.

We live in turbulent times – from endless war to a slowly recovering economy to a looming educational crisis and ineffective government. While we take care of our lives one day at a time, we can’t help but sense a storm gathering on the horizon. In this, we are much like the Jewish people who lived at the time of the prophets. Surrounded by forces outside their control, God called them to remain faithful in their daily life, to trust him to handle the big stuff. God spoke through prophets. Because their books are so short, we call them the Minor Prophets. But while their writings are short, their message has major implications for our lives today.
