Dr. Deirdre Good returns to Ascension this Sunday, December 13th, to lead a forum about race and free speech on college campuses, inviting us to reflect theologically and to explore possibilities for faithful action. The forum will take place after the 11 o’clock service. Dr. Good asks that you read this article (link here) which will serve as a springboard for the conversation. Printed copies are available in the Narthex.

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.
