Description
From tearful stories of Palestinian women to the blood-stained steps of a Romanian cathedral, we delve into the spiritual and existential wisdom of hospitality – welcoming the other (and the reality of violence) into our homes and neighborhoods. Drawing on personal stories, biblical wisdom and post-modern philosophies of otherness, we explore how the experience and practice of hospitality contributes to the formation of conscience, the meaning of the good life, and the messianic peace of God in the midst of suffering and violence.
