View all EventsRadical Hospitality and the Stranger (Module 7 of 7)
In this module, students will explore the biblical, theological, and historical foundations of Christian hospitality. Participants will examine hospitality not simply as kindness or welcome, but as a deeply Christian practice that shapes how communities relate to strangers, neighbours, and those who have experienced exclusion.
Drawing from Scripture, Christian tradition, and contemporary ethical conversations, students will reflect on the dynamics between host and stranger, including questions of power, vulnerability, boundaries, risk, and mutual transformation.
