“Hospitality means primarily the creation of 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. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen
