Sacred Hospitality, Thomas A. Maier

Thomas A. Maier

Sacred Hospitality explores the nature, meaning, and commonality of values exemplified in the Judeo-Christian tradition beginning with the singular hospitality event of Abraham's welcoming and hosting traveling visitors. Such hospitality entails food, drink and accommodation of and for others, more importantly, genuine hospitality is possible only when persons know who they are, having a self to give, and are happy to share that self with others. In order to offer and practice hospitality in a Sacred context we have to take a look around and welcome others who are in need.
