Many of us, in these times of change, are facing crossroads — trying to make hard decisions about our jobs, our relationships, and even our faith. How can we know which way to turn — which road is the right one?
"Pentecost calls the Church to accept and embrace the high calling we have as Christians." Recalling the evil in the world, seen tragically in recent events in Buffalo, Uvalde, Ukraine, and other places, the Rt. Rev. Andrew ML Dietsche in his sermon on the Day of Pentecost at Trinity Church, calls upon us to renounce evil.
Pentecost is also known as the birthday of the church. It’s not about just Trinity Church, or any church building. It is about all of us — the people who follow in Jesus’s way of peace!
The Gospel reminds us that the Church’s calling, as the body of Christ animated by the Holy Spirit, is to be a reconciling presence of Christ’s peace in the world. It reminds us, too, in an age replete with conflict and the political manipulation of truth, that the way of life for Christians is clear: to be agents of peace, to be the reconciling presence of Christ in the world.
