From Dr. Cornel West, Union Theological Seminary:
I would rather be in a crack house than a White House that promotes neo-imperial policies abroad and neoliberal policies at home…because in a crack house, at least I’m in solidarity with folk who are sensitive to pain.
Radical Discipleship 
When I worked as a visiting nurse I had patients in a residential hotel that was way far past its heyday. Everyone had a sketchy history and limited future but the genuine caring and community was humbling.
maryt, thank you for sharing this. Hospitality is the central beam of the Church, as is welcome and love of one’s enemines.
