5 - Tower of Babel

Genesis 11:1 -9
Pieter Breugel the Elder - Tower of Babel


Why do human beings speak hundreds and thousands of languages.  Why are we separated by culture?  


What caused God to want to confuse human language?


Is there a relationship between this story and "The Fall?"  


What is the relationship with the reading we hear at Pentecost in Acts 2:1-21?

  1. Unity can be a good thing, but it can also lead to complacency and exclusivity. As much as I dislike being confused, it is often a sacred state – pulling me towards new relationships, a broader connection to the world, and newness in my life with God. - Joanne Menke
