Radical Hospitality

I've been reading the book Radical Hospitality: Benedict's Way of Love. The term "radical hospitality" is spreading like wildfire. The concept is relatively simple. Benedictine monks try and live with mutual reverence for all people.

What is the difference between living with mutual reverence" and respecting the inherent worth and dignity of all people? That would be an interesting session.

A discussion on Radical Hospitaltity would serve as a great discussion for group participants and leaders as it discusses how we treat people - strangers - coming in to our lives.
