Forum this Sunday: After Orlando – In the aftermath of the mass shooting and murder of 49 people at Pulse last Saturday in Orlando, Florida, many of us are filled with intense feelings of grief, anger and fear. We struggle too with intersecting issues: LGBTQ rights and vulnerability, gun violence, domestic terror and the fear of retaliatory scapegoating of the Muslim community. This Sunday, following the 11 am service, we will spend some time in conversation together, about what we are feeling, what we need and how we are called to respond as a Christian community in faith, courage and most of all, love. Please join us.

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.
