Welcome to our Pentecost edition of ‘The God who Speaks’ <\/strong>– a newsletter brought to you by The God who Speaks Team<\/em> at the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales. As you’ll see, we’ve changed our name to reflect our ongoing God who Speaks<\/strong> campaign.

Below, you’ll find\u00a0updates of news, events, resources and developments which we hope you’ll find beneficial for your continued engagement with the Bible – whether individually, as a family, as an online parish community, or to share the Scriptures more broadly.
With every best wish,
Bishop Peter M. Brignall,\u00a0Chair, The God who Speaks Team.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PENTECOST SCRIPTURE (ESV)<\/strong> Acts 2.1-4<\/strong>
\u201cWhen the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. 2\u00a0<\/sup>And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3\u00a0<\/sup>Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. 4\u00a0<\/sup>All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ASCENSION and PENTECOST<\/strong> We’ve created some exciting new resources to help you journey through Ascension and Pentecost this year.

A\u00a0visual resource<\/strong> that\u00a0uses four paintings of the Ascension and Pentecost alongside Scripture texts and reflections,\u00a0designed\u00a0to enrich your understanding of these two important events in the life of the Church and in our faith.
A paper dove<\/strong> that you can make to\u00a0hang in your window alongside your NHS rainbow; and be reminded of the covenant with Noah and the Ark as well as the new covenant in Christ which we share at Pentecost with the whole world.

THE ANOINTED by\u00a0Michael Arditti<\/strong> Arcadia Books
Michal is a princess, Abigail a wealthy widow, and Bathsheba a soldier’s bride, but as women in Ancient Israel, their destiny is the same: to obey their fathers, serve their husbands and raise their children.\u00a0Marriage to King David seems to offer them an escape, but they discover a deeply conflicted man. The\u00a0hero who slew Goliath, founded Jerusalem and saved Israel is also a\u00a0despot who murders his rivals, massacres his captives and menaces his harem.\u00a0\u00a0Arditti’s\u00a0new novel centres on three fascinating women, whose voices have hitherto been silenced. \u00a0Love, betrayal, rape, revenge, motherhood and childlessness remain\u00a0pertinent issues today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
