Hospitality is a core feature of Christian consciousness. From Genesis to Revelation the Bible can be read as a series of table talks and lessons on the partnership between host and stranger. Modern case studies of retreat centers around the world are viewed in light of the biblical commands to see how they conform to the charge of practicing Christian hospitality. These include Holden Village, an ecumenical retreat center in the Lutheran tradition in Washington State, Taize in France, L'Abri, and a concluding chapter on the Rule of Benedict, a rule of hospitality practiced for 1500 years.
