Practicing hospitality is central to building a civil society, not to mention living a Christian life. It can be enriching and joy-filled, but it can also be profoundly demanding and sometimes even dangerous. In The Limits of Hospitality, Jessica Wrobleski explores the ethical questions surrounding the practice of hospitality, particularly hospitality that is informed by Christian theological commitments. While there is no algorithm that distinguishes between ethically "legitimate: " and "llegitimate" boundaries, the variety of circumstances in which hospitality is relevant and the nature of hospitality itself make advocating firm and fixed boundaries difficult. How much more so for Christians, for whom the practice of hospitality should be a manifestation of agape, a participation in God's eschatological welcome extended to all people through Jesus Christ! Are limits to hospitality, then, merely a regrettable concession to our finite and fallen condition? Wrobleski offers a rich theological reflection that will interest anyone who has a role in the practice of hospitality in community? Whether such communities are families, households, churches, educational institutions, or nation-states.

One Hope

Re-Membering the Body of Christ

By: Julie K. Aageson,John Borelli,John B. Klassen,Derek R. Nelson,Martha Ellen Stortz,Jessica Wrobleski

One Hope: Re-Membering the Body of Christ is a rich ecumenical resource designed to help Catholic and Lutheran communities mark the approaching 500th anniversary of the Reformation. By gathering together to reflect on and discuss its contents, Christians will foster the church’s unity on a grassroots level and grow in their awareness of the ways thatunity already exists.The essays in One Hope are the product of an intense collaborative process by six gifted scholars and pastoral leaders, three Lutheran and three Catholic. They explore experiences and activities that Catholics and Lutherans share and which connect to the living of their faith in embodied ways: breathing, eating, singing, forgiving, serving, and dying. One Hope will serve as a welcome resource for adult faith formation and parish discussion groups made up of Catholics, Lutherans, members of other denominations, or combinations thereof. Discussion questions conclude each chapter.

Rites of Spring

By: Jessica Duchen

Paralysed by grief and guilt after his mother's death, Adam turns down a promotion to art director of an upscale men's magazine. His wife Sasha has just turned 40 and thinks that her unemployed, depressed, lying around the house smoking dope husband just doesn't fancy her any more. They are both too absorbed in themselves, their own problems and the logistics of running a household that contains two eight-year-old boys, to notice that thirteen-year-old Liffy is teetering on the verge of anorexia. And then she falls in. Liffy's aunt, Lisa, knows something is wrong, but is distracted by her work as a lecturer in music and her rollercoaster affair with a Russian pianist. Will someone see what's happening to Liffy before it's too late?
