What does it mean to give and receive welcome? What can we learn from this practice?

And why is it risky? 

In this study, Helen R. Neinast and David O. Jenkins help us to understand why hospitality is basic to our lives as Christians. David O. Jenkins has a lifelong commitment to studying and living the way in which the Christian faith impacts and changes life, especially in urban areas. A longtime member of L’Arche International, he formerly served as Executive Director of the Christian Council of Metropolitan Atlanta, which operated four homeless shelters and a refugee resettlement ministry.

Topics include:

• Receiving Welcome

• Risking Welcome

• Risking Worship

• Risking Justice

   

  The structure of this study is based on two complementary teachings of Jesus:

  Come and See (6 weeks)
  The group will use Scripture, videos, study & reflection guide, and leader guide to experience, discuss, and meditate on the Christian model of hospitality.

  Go and Do (6 weeks)
  Together, supported by the leader guide, the group will create and implement an action plan for applying and embodying hospitality in their own lives.

  A twelve-week study & action plan on Hospitality... coming soon!

   

  $10 fee includes participant reflection/study guide.
