Sermon, Pentecost A, Acts 2:1-21

The Ruby Valley Episcopal Churches consist of Christ Church, Sheridan, and St. Paul's, Virginia City. We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Montana and the worldwide Anglican Communion.

We walk the via media, the pathway between hardline fundamentalism that is assured of correct black and white answers, and the 'anything goes' attitude of hardline liberalism.
