Hospitality

“Hospitality” means primarily the creation of a free
space where the stranger can enter and become a friend.
Hospitality is not to change people but to offer them
space where change can take place.”
--H. Nouwen
What does hospitality mean to you?
According to Webster: "Hospitality is
the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of
guests, visitors, or strangers."
The Thesaurus offers: "Friendliness,
hospitableness, warm reception, welcome, helpfulness,
neighborliness, warmth, kindness, congeniality,
geniality, cordiality, courtesy, amenability,
entertainment, catering, food."
So how do we at Suquamish UCC measure
