That first church in Jerusalem, seeded by the Winds of Pentecost, was marked by courage and a commitment to radical community. Miracles, prayer, study, worship, and open-hearted hospitality characterized their fellowship even as persecution loomed, and their extraordinary generosity, “holding all things in common,” meant that no one among them was in need. They are models for us, in this time, of the generosities the Spirit can grow in us to meet the needs around us.
