Pentecost!

From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai

Come Holy Spirit!!!!

Dear Friends,

This Sunday we will celebrate the Feast of Pentecost – often called the birthday of the church.  It is the day when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples giving them courage to go out into all the world and preach the gospel of God’s love!

We too need the boldness of the Holy Spirit to speak out when we are afraid and feel we must remain silent.  We must speak the truth tempered in love, but we must speak-out, non the less.

The readings for this Pentecost Sunday will be from Acts 2:1-21, Romans 8:14-17, and John 14:8-17, 25-27, and we will be singing the hymns Come Down, O Love Divine; Spirit of God, Unseen as the Wind; Colours of Day (Light Up the Fire); and O God of Burning, Cleansing Flame!

Use this link to join on Zoom on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
Meeting ID: 548 801 501

Inclusive Church Conference

At the Conference

Last weekend, Christa, Clay, and I took part in the first Inclusive Church Asia Connect conference which was held in Bangkok.  It was an international event gathering over seventy Christian LGBT community leaders and allies in East and Southeast Asia. 

Our Banner at Pride

We had a wonderful time meeting like-minded people from the region and Christa and Clay were able to march in Bangkok Pride together.    It was a great opportunity to reach out to other inclusive Christians and churches in Asia at an amazing and encouraging event.

I hope to share videos of some of the sessions when they become available.

Friends from around the World
