Welcoming

I was reading Living Stones, the blog of the annual conference, when I found this sentence, written by Rev. Amy Shanholtzer:

Another handshake, another hug and an invitation to the evening worship service and dinner told me that there is a culture of welcome here and folks who are willing to take responsibility for it.

"A culture of welcome...and folks who are willing to take responsbility for it." I think that's a great description of what hospitality in a church means.
A "culture" -- hospitality so ingrained in a church that it is part of their DNA. It's second nature. It's part of who they are -- not just something that they do.

People who will take responsibility for it -- it's not somebody else's job -- it's everybody's job. Hospitality is the calling of everyone in the church.

How many churches "get" that?
