MAY 15. 2005 · THE LIVING CHURCH 9 Luke writes in Acts 2:4 that the apostles spoke in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. What were these tongues? We do not really know, but we do know that they were unknown to people because Paul tells us that the "one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God" (1 Cor. 14:2). Speaking to God is not preaching the gospel in a foreign language to potential converts. Speaking to God is generally called prayer, which is exactly the point Paul is trying to make with the Corinthians, who often interrupted services by speaking aloud in tongues. Paul told them, "if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful" (1 Cor. 14:14). The form of prayer is thanksgiving, as we learn from 1 Cor. 14:16, "otherwise, when you bless with the spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say the 'amen' to your thanksgiving." Simply stated, the speaker in tongues is not communicating with anyone except God. Since Luke traveled with Paul, we can assume that he knew Paul's interpretation of the tongues at Pentecost. Knowing it was thanksgiving as Paul said, Luke described what the people miraculously understood as the "mighty works of God" (Acts 2:11). The praise psalms proclaim the mighty works of God. For example, in Psalm 145:4we read, "One generation shall laud thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty act." The psalm is a praise to God about his deeds which are mighty acts. In Psalm 150:2 we read, "praise him for his mighty deeds." Proclaiming the wonders By Gerald A Skillicorn of God is not necessarily preaching. Good thanksgiving and praise in prayer conveys the same truth. e often hear it said that our written liturgy exists to So what happened at Pentecost?

If communicating the gospel in a foreign language was More serious, however, was the inability of the linguistic the key to the outpouring of the Spirit, then we need to ask gyration to draw me into the meaning of the event. In fact, ourselves why it did not happen when the Gentiles received it drew me away from what Luke in Acts 2 meant to convey the Spirit in Acts 10 or when the Ephesians received the into a world of non-biblical imagination.

They knew that by speaking in guages. In fact, it does not say that they spoke foreign lan tongues the Spirit was enabling their spirits to give thanks guages. In three different sentences describing the to God for his mighty acts in a language not understood by confusion, Luke makes it clear that the people only heard in anyone. their own language.

Prayersfor Benedict XVI Most Anglicans were interested spectators from afar as cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church assembled in conclave to elect a new pope. They will be watching curiously to see how the pontificate of Pope Benedict XVI unfolds . Of particular interest will be the stance taken by the new pope regarding ecumenical ministry, especially that with Angli cans. As Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict XVIhas had some dealings with Anglicans. He is remembered fondly by those orthodox Episco palians gathered in Dallas in 2003 to whom he sent a message of encour agement. On the other hand, he was regarded with disdain by many when he issued a statement of support for the papal bull declaring Angli can orders null and void. Anglicans will doubtlessly be among those praying for Benedict XVI as he takes on greater responsibilities. His reputation as a distinguished theologian and his accomplishments in upholding the teaching and faith of the Church should prepare him well for the papal ministry. We join On the day with millions of others who offer prayers and best wishes. of Pentecost, Come, Holy Spirit those people The Feast of Pentecost arrives at a propitious time for a badly divided Church. On this important feast day, occurring 50 days after Easter Day, we hear the story in the Book of Acts of the people of Jerusalem being are united restored to closeness with God after generations of hate, wars and killings. On the day of Pentecost, those people are united by the gift of the Holy Spirit. Barriers were overcome, and differences that once by the gift seemed major suddenly seemed less significant. People were reconciled to God and to one another , made one by the Holy Spirit. A fresh out pouring of the Holy Spirit may be just what the Church needs at this of the Holy time. We know that with God, all things are possible, even the breaking down of the issues that divide this Church. Come, Holy Spirit, and renew Spirit. the face of the earth . PrayerDuring Ember Days During the week that follows the Day of Pentecost, the Church observes Ember Days - three days which occur four times each year and pertain to ordination. The Ember Days have been in existence since the third century, and although the focus of their observance has changed through the years, they have continued to be days of prayer. On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of this week , the Church offers special prayers for those in the ordination process , and candidates sometimes observe this time in prayer and retreat. Occasionally ordinations are held on these days. In addition, in the Episcopal Church, every candi date or postulant for holy orders is required by canon to report to the bishop by letter or in person during these weeks. Those of us not pur suing the ordination ministry would do well to pray that suitable candi dates may be found for the ordained ministry as well as for all Christians in their vocation in the Church. The prayers For the Ministry on pages 205-206 and 256-257 in the prayer book are particularly appro priate for these days.

MAY 15. 2005 · THE LIVING CHURCH 13 Racism
Denis Ford [TLC, April 17] is concerned that "rich white American males are exploit ing black Africans." He then goes on to suggest they are able to manipulate these African bishops because said bishops are homophobic and ignorant. He is concerned that if this exploitation is permitted to continue, "racism will be driven deeper" in America and the Episcopal Church. It seems it is already pretty deep. So deep that it cannot be acknowledged and called by its name when it is expressed as clearly as the author expresses it. Perhaps in these troubled times in our Church, we would all do well for follow our Lord's injunction: "First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye" (Matt. 7:5). (The Rev.) Gilbert T. Crosby St . Francis of Assis i Church Tallahassee, Fla. ''First take the log I had to read the letter titled "They're Being Exploited" several times to believe the author was, in fact , serious. This deeply cynical note out of your own eye, expresses - to perfection - an attitude of such arrogance and corro siveness as to defy easy description . The author's simplistic assessment and then you will see clearly of history, his lack of forbearance in assigning evil motives to those who disagree with "the rest of the Episcopal Church," and the almost laugh- to take the speck out able (if it were not so vicious) denial of either scruple or intelligence in the African part of the Anglican Communion, brings to mind the worst of of your brother's eye" high Victorian "white man's burden" thinking. Alas, it goes to show that intolerance continues to appear in new forms of dress. Can we not see (Matt. 7:5). how judgmental and poisonous this kind of substitute for theology has become? If this is the fruit of "inclusivity," God help us! (The Rev.) Brandon L. Filbert St. Bede's Church Forest Grove, Ore. It's NotHelpful The Rev. James H. Hall [TLC, April 17] equates racist Americans with the actions of the "African and global south clergy." This is not helpful , even if his point is only to com ment on an alleged irony in the situation. Is it ever legitimate to refuse to share the Holy Eucharist? What if we were talking about dinner at home instead of the Lord's Supper? I fully understand the Eucharist is not just a family meal, but there are similarities. If I accepted an invitation for supper, but wouldn't stay because of the skin color of a guest, I would be a racist . No responsible person would accept my explanation as hav ing a legitimate claim to the Christian ethic. On the other hand, if I showed up and was told that the soup was poisoned (and/or I was convinced that was the case), I wouldn't be expected to eat. Or if someone brought both his wife and mistress to Christmas dinner, not everyone would cheerfully sit down together, and most Christians would understand completely . I realize the analogy has its limitations. Nobody has been accused of poisoning the ele ments of the Eucharist at Newry, but some who attended did identify another betrayal all the same. This is the source of the division. The Eucharist is a sign of unity, and it shouldn't be used to coerce or defame those who detect its absence. There are bad reasons to refuse to share the Eucharist , but it is at least conceivable that there are valid reasons to wait for another opportunity. (The Rev.) Michael I. Gorchov St. Paul's Church Troy, N.Y.
