Setting a Bigger Table: Fighting for Justice Without Pushing People Around

Sat 11 AM | River

Ron Ruthruff

The way we treat the person we love the least is the way we love God the most. So how then do we extend hospitality and do justice in a world of privilege, power and religious refuge? Participants will engage with the gospel of Luke’s model of table fellowship as a map towards a symbiotic hospitality, learning to live in open space of justice, mercy and humility.
