|a This thesis-project is a retrieval and re-imaging of the ministry of Christian hospitality. 1 he theological themes of soteriology and eschatology, and the ethical-political dimension of human relationality are the underlying concepts that direct the development of a theology of hospitality that is relevant in post-modern culture. The thesis commences with a “thick description" that includes the contours of the ministerial experience of the author, a definition of hospitality, and a set of guiding claims. The concept of ministry as a way of life in the context of Vatican II theology is developed. Three case studies of hospitality praxis at the local, national and international levels are presented with a critical analysis that includes responses from individuals involved in the case studies. Hospitality from the underside is also considered. Hospitality in the context of the Christian tradition is explored by looking at the theme of hospitality in the Scriptures and considering Jesus in the dual roles of guest and host. An historical review of the practice of hospitality in the Christian tradition is presented. Hospitality in light of the sacramental and ritual life of the church is discussed with emphasis on conversion and Eucharist and the Works of Mercy. The postmodern condition from the intellectual and cultural perspectives is explored in relation to hospitality through philosophical voices beyond an explicitly Christian context. A renewed praxis of hospitality with emphasis on a bias for the liberation of socially devalued people and a theology of accompaniment as a primary mode of hospitality praxis is then proposed. The thesis concludes with a case study of an outstanding example of contemporary hospitality praxis and a proposal for a workshop on hospitality geared to professional and non-professional ministers. |
