In the preface of her book, Making Room, Christine Pohl shares:

?A mystery of hospitality is how often one senses God?s presence in the midst of very ordinary activities.?Room in the Inn-Memphis practices the presence of God in exactly this way each day. Often we think of hospitality as a transactional experience. One person needs something and another person offers that something. The Holy Hospitality that we strive to put into our everyday lives and work with our guests definitely has an element of this way of experiencing hospitality. But when the physical food and shelter are offered by volunteers and staff very often barriers are broken down and relationships develop. Then in a surprisingly beautiful experience the hospitality is felt in both directions...

My life has been changed and is impacted daily by the hospitality I receive and in receiving I am inspired to share. That experience brings a sense of holiness and hopefulness in a world that is literally crying out for it every minute of every day. A few more words from Dr. Pohl,

??in God?s remarkable economy, as we make room for hospitality, more room becomes available to us for life, hope, and grace.?So join me in these subversive acts of love as we come together to offer holy hospitality!
