The Jewish Torah is filled with examples of providing hospitality for “the stranger” and society’s most vulnerable. The Israelites are continually reminded that they were once strangers in the land of Egypt and therefore should not harm the “foreigners” seeking refuge in their communities. In the Christian Bible, Jesus reminds us of stories like these where unlikely people help those who are in critical need to illustrate how small signs of hospitality serve as powerful acts of resistance against societal norms. He challenges his followers to provide unconditional hospitality to the “least of these” by saying, “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matt. 25:35-40). Join with us this Sunday as we explore how we can be a community of Sanctuary.
