Hospitality is almost as old as humanity itself. Deep within us lies the capacity to open our doors to our neighbors: as humans, we are driven to welcome the stranger and build new relationships, even with those that appear different from us. Today, hospitality appears difficult and rare. Every day, people on the borders are discriminated against by those countries where they are seeking refuge. Hospitality as a value seems to have long been forgotten. But we can return to hospitality, and we should. Tracing the biblical roots of the concept and contextualizing it in the current migratory reality, Alberto Ares SJ argues that hospitality can help us deal with diversity and encourage processes of integration and social cohesion. With hospitality, we can learn again how to really dialogue with those who are different, and to accept each other within an inclusive world, where no one is left behind. So today, where hostility gains ground over hospitality, the practice of hospitality constitutes a genuine act of resistance. -------------------------------------------------- Xenia 3.0: Recreating Hospitality in a Diverse World (ENG) Xenía 3.0: Recreando la Hospitalidad en un Mundo Diverso (ESP) https://bit.ly/3E1OH1t ---------------------------------------------------- Translation and voice-over by Georgina Gomez-Bozzo Illustrations by Ivo de Jager

14. Communities of Hospitality As Resistance
In our current environment, where hostility appears to be gaining ground over hospitality, even within some church and theological settings, the practice of hospitality constitutes a veritable act of resistance. Jesus-style resistance. A hospitality that broke the barriers of his time: pure/impure…In a world that sometimes appears to be broken and falling apart, the Christian is called to build bridges over the limits of the legal-illegal, of the pure-impure, and of inclusion-exclusion, because hospitality has a great foundation in celebration and Jesus invites to his table those whom society rejects or demonizes ". A return to the origins of our hospitality is necessary, a hospitality as old as humanity itself, as witnessed by the practice of xenía. Hospitality runs through our biblical tradition and much of the history of the Church. Because they are countercultural, Communities of Hospitality constitute authentic spaces of resistance and foresee the Kingdom when they invite everyone to sit together at the same table, to share what unites us as well as our differences. In short, Communities of Hospitality are an invitation to be witnesses of hope.

13. Hospitality as a Key to Coexistence
Nowadays, the practice of hospitality poses serious questions regarding the building of identity, a formational element in the vital development of individuals and groups of people (Ares, 2017a). These issues are manifested in everyday life, when we coexist. Dynamics in which personal and collective identity processes are woven, some more static and others more dynamic.

12. Hospitality in a Diverse World
Our life is a continuous coming and going, in which we travel and crisscross many roads. Diversity is one of the great riches that hospitality brings to mind. A great variety of cultures, accents, religions, foods, interpretations of reality, etc. A diversity that, in turn, poses a challenge to coexistence, to the creation of identity and to the construction of a pluralistic and open citizenship. When asked “Can we live together?”, we often move between the two extremes of those who see diversity as a threat - the only solution for coexistence being the reinforcement of national identity and borders (hostility) - and those who - in diversity - discover an opportunity for our pluralistic societies, in which the emphasis is on welcoming and integrating, laying the foundations for true social cohesion (hospitality).
