Synopsis

This book is about ecumenical hospitality - those "generous and cordial actions between hosts and guests" that foster the healing of divisions among Christians and their churches for the sake of the world. What is the history of hospitality as found in the Bible? In Christian tradition? What are the theological reasons for its exercise? What does it look like when practised well? What are some guidelines for the exercise of ecumenical hospitality for hosts? For guests? What is the relationship between hospitality and spirituality? What are its fruits in furthering the quest for Christian unity? The authors offer guidelines and good practices, and encourage Christians to be intentional about the exercise of ecumenical hospitality. This book expands our appreciation for the ways Christians are called to love each other, to receive one anothers ideas and to stretch our understanding of the abundant nature of Gods love.
