Hospitality is the practice of God's welcome by reaching across difference to participate in God's actions bringing justice and healing to our world in crisis. Hospitality is the practice of welcoming strangers, providing a safe place for them to rest and share their stories, enabling them to sustain their culture while they are with you. Hospitality is the practice of collecting something from each stranger who passes through your door so that each can continue his or her journey towards healing, wholeness, hope, peace, joy, comfort or safety. It is about being willing to reach across difference to participate in God's actions bringing justice and healing to our world in crisis.
