Sermon for the Sunday after Ascension (Acts 1:1-14) | May 17, 2026
from All Saints Anglican Church · host All Saints Anglican Church
It is, admittedly, not a great name for a Sunday. But this in-between space—between Ascension and Pentecost—marks something the early church gradually understood. Namely, that the he Ascension wasn't primarily a departure, but rather an enthronement. And that waiting in the upper room is not liturgical dead time. Rather, it is, as Chrysostom says, a pedagogy of longing.
