GR translation: the faces above the pulpits defining grace

[Mike Jing]

P29.39-P30.5   6:43:16 BDST—in the sky right now here is the same
unfolding, just about to break through, his face deepening with its
light, everything about to rush away and he to lose himself, just as
his countryside has ever proclaimed . . . slender church steeples
poised up and down all these autumn hillsides, white rockets about to
fire, only seconds of countdown away, rose windows taking in Sunday
light, elevating and washing the faces above the pulpits defining
grace, swearing this is how it does happen—yes the great bright hand
reaching out of the cloud. . . .

Who are these "faces above the pulpits defining grace"?

And who is "swearing this is how it does happen"?
