Day of Pentecost (Year 1, NL)

After an attempted coup in Indonesia in 1965, headlines reported that 500,000 people were killed. What did not make the headlines was the quiet revolution that began as the wind of the Spirit began to move into a collapsed intellectual and moral vacuum. There was no ballyhoo or promotion, but simply the response of untold numbers who found in the churches a haven.

One is not born a Christian; one becomes a Christian. This reminds me of my three-year-old friend Grace.

Compared to cosmologists, theologians have the advantage—and disadvantage—of revelation.

In the original Christian Pentecost are seeds of a universalist impulse, a catholic principle.

You can’t micromanage a road trip. The wind blows where it wills.
