God Our Stranger (Video)

You have given substance to the ancient art of hospitality. There is 'awkwardness' to both the giver and the receiver but your perspective provides the giver an opportunity to be the learner. It levels the field. I have often thought of my endeavors of hospitality as 'serving them' or 'making them feel comfortable.' My table shall be enlarged!!!
ps-Samir, you look good in a suit!!!!

Yes, hospitality is more than a virtue, it is central to what it means to be fully human. Or divine.

And thank you for the compliment about the suit, I shall take the hint and wear it more often.

Love from New York Christine!

What a great summation of your book Samir. Our book club is just finishing “It's Really All About God” and I must say it really struck a cord of common wisdom with people. We had an almost unanimous agreement with your central point that “we” don't have a corner on God, and that God has reached out to “others” and loved them by imparting some knowledge of Himself which I could benefit from.
After having spent most of my life developing my spiritual arrogance, I need to acknowledge the spiritual contribution to my life that “others” can make, and then actually seek it out.
Thanks Samir for so beautifully articulating that truth.

Thanks Don. I felt the same sense of freedom once I understood that going deeper into my Christian faith actually invites me to build bridges instead of bubbles. Cheers bro.

I think I will read this book. Thanks for addressing the “Other”.
