Hospitality is the key to outreach with the Christian message. There are so many reports of those, especially young adults, who will not connect with the Church because of negative perceptions and experiences. This kind of damage is hard to undo but it can be reframed when we listen. Listen to the story. Listen to the pain. Listen to the hurt. Acknowledge the pain that is heard and do not cast judgement. As we listen we let the story unfold. Hospitality is to give without asking anything in return. We give and we love with the love of Christ. May each of us strive for graciousness and hospitality.
