The "gift of Holy Spirit keeps us lively and moving" as "inspiring breath" in the Body of Christ, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori writes in her 2008 Pentecost letter to the Episcopal Church.

Jefferts Schori's letter precedes the Church's observance of the Feast of Pentecost on Sunday, May 11, and the opening of the annual Pentecost liturgical season of the church year.
