A historical meditation on Pentecost as the birth of the Christian Church. It describes the Apostles’ initial fear turning into bold preaching after the Holy Spirit's descent, the rapid growth from 120 to thousands, and the spread across the Roman world despite persecution. It links the event to unity across languages and nations and emphasizes enduring mission.
The World Council of Churches presidents issue a Pentecost message in 232 member churches across 90 regions with the theme A New Heart and a New Spirit. They urge prayer for renewal and unity and call Christians to practical action for justice, peace, education, and development worldwide.
