A talk by Colin Miller, author of We Are Only Saved Together, Living the Revolutionary Vision of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement. Hospitality makes the Church the Church. This is true, not only in the hospitality it gives, but also the hospitality it receives, especially from the poor. Drawing on his book We Are Only Saved Together, Colin Miller speaks of a Church rooted in its relationships with its neighbors and the poor as a necessary antidote for our society of loneliness. |
