Ascension

George Packard on Ascension Day: "On a purely functional basis, the Church had to move Jesus and His risen appearance out of the moment so Pentecost could occur. How can the Spirit come down if Jesus is appearing at every garage sale? The Kingdom of God is at hand when we're awakened to the Christ in each other."

Eric Lax, Faith, Interrupted: A Spiritual Journey, (Alfred A. Knopf, 2010) p. 249
