Private Conversations
Of Public Importance
Come as guests, leave as friends.
Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life
