Pigs Wandering through the Worship Service

"The Christian who travels may be surprised to see pigs wander through an African church service, or to hear the Scriptures chanted by Muslim converts, but be moved to praise, singing the multi-cultural universality that springs from the unity of God's truth. At Pentecost the divisions of Babel were overcome. The apostles spoke no heavenly language, or even a spiritual Esperanto as one universal language, but the many languages of their world. Yet their message unified divided peoples and formed a new humanity in the church."
--Edmund Clowney, The Church
