The sprawling diversity of the early church is represented at the beginning of the book of Acts. It was the birth of the early church, a great coming together, breathing together, listening together into the wild Spirit that was and always is drawing us toward union. Cláudio Carvalhaes, Praying with Every Heart: Orienting Our Lives to the Wholeness of the World For we either breathe together or no one will breathe at all. If anything, this Pentecost has to remind us of our collective breathing: breathing life together into new worlds and other ways of living. “And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?” Acts 2:6–8 NRSV And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each.
