Welcome All as Christ: Reimagining Parish Hospitality - Paperback

by John T. Kyler (Author)

Too often we relegate parish hospitality to the few minutes immediately before or after Sunday liturgy. If we are willing to reimagine our understanding of hospitality, however, we begin to realize that welcoming others is more than bulletins and donuts (as important as those are!). Welcome All as Christ offers concrete suggestions for implementing a holistic approach to parish hospitality, grounded in St. Benedict's invitation to "Welcome all as Christ" and set amid the pastoral realities of today's church.
