The familiar Biblical story of the Tower of Babel illustrates how language has the power to undermine community, while Pentecost signifies a new beginning with language. For Peter, language originally served as a means of denial and deceit but eventually became a gift for proclaiming God's word. (Comment on: Genesis 11:1-9, Acts 2:1-21 and John 14:8-17,25-27.)
