The article also mentions she sings at our church and has a new album, Sunken Cathedral, which “explores the structural parallels between the vaulted construction of a church and its organ and that of a human chest, with both producing sound by moving air through pipes.” Bora will perform much of that album at the Asia Society at 8pm this Wednesday, April 23rd. We are so blessed to know Bora as our singer and Vestry member at Ascension.

In this week’s newsletter, the rector notes Pentecost’s reversal of Babel—not by restoring a single language, but by enabling understanding across difference as each speaks and hears in their own tongue. She treasures hearing parishioners read “God’s deeds of power” in many languages during worship, and invites us to consider what it means to speak of God in our own heart language—whether shaped by mother tongue, place, trust, or profound shared experience. In a time of contempt for difference, Pentecost reveals the blessing of many tongues and the Holy Spirit’s gift of mutual understanding across culture, faith, and ethnic background.
