Alex Ngeno
“A guest should not enter a home and remain socially invisible. Their presence changes the rhythm of the household.”
― Alex Ngeno, The Lost Art of Silence: Awakening to Fire

“Hospitality is the practice of God's welcome by reaching across difference to participate in God's actions bringing justice and healing to our world in crisis.”
― Letty M. Russell
