There is a nice meditation on hospitality in this month's issue of The Lutheran. Have you seen it yet?
Peter W. Marty writes, "More than pleasantness, more than friendliness, biblical hospitality elevates the needs and hopes of the guest (or stranger) over the preferences and comforts of the host. Breathing space is created for guests to flourish. They are set free from having to conform to the image of the host. They have room to be themselves." How might this relate to youth ministry and the way churches relate to young people?
The whole article is worth a look. Find it here: Host and Guest.
