I was the only one in there until another came in. I didn’t know him well but I had seen him around the college. We said ‘hi’ to each person other, and in many ways I thought that would be the end of the conversation. For some reason we started talking a bit more and found we both shared a love for an obscure film. We both started talking about how much this film had impacted our lives. This sparked a 3 hour conversation that night, where we were got to know each other well and share things that were quite personal to us. There are times when we find ourselves meeting new people, and meeting those who we find ourselves to be very different to. We hear about the other person’s interests, their work, hobbies, likes and dislikes. We learn a lot about someone we didn’t know before and sometimes we might find ourselves sharing something in common with them. If this happens, this can lead to conversations which energise us, give us life, where there is a sense of understanding the other person and in turn being understood. These moments can often feel like a much needed gift to us, and maybe it is in these moments when some of our greatest relationships have been established. As we approach Pentecost we hear that the Good News is one that was not supposed to be heard by just one nation, but instead all nations. For Christians we celebrate Pentecost as one where the disciples began to speak in tongues. These tongues were spoken languages of different countries and nationalities, and people of different nationalities heard their languages being spoken. This was something that surprised those who were around, and amazed those who heard it. We might find the people speaking those languages just as surprised to hear they were understood as those hearing them. There are possibilities when we get to share our experiences with those who we haven’t met, who are from different backgrounds, countries etc. We can find ourselves enriched by hearing those experiences that we haven’t known ourselves, and pleasantly surprised when we find we share something in common. As it is we might find truth in these interactions, and it is truth that Christ calls us into, but it is also something to be shared with each other.
