Download or read book Hospitality written by Freddy James Clark and published by Hamilton Books. This book was released on 2007-07-18 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term hospitality describes a state of generosity, accommodation, and consideration towards others. The Shalom Church, which views hospitality as a gift, seeks not to control the gift, but to share and celebrate it in practice. When the practice is intentional it will become embedded in one's lifestyle. This adherence is reached when one considers hospitality as a biblical and moral obligation, where every encounter with the other will be viewed through the lens of hospitableness. Fortunately, humanity always moves from host/stranger to stranger/host. In Christian theology, the giver and receiver are one of equal regard. Since there are no permanent positions in life, persons are always moving in and out of situations where they sometimes experience being the host, and other times the stranger. Hospitality becomes the means by which equal regard and moral obligation are exercised. Proclamation is the tool that shapes the practice and develops a committed relationship with hospitality.

Download or read book Right of Way written by Angie Schmitt and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of the pedestrian safety crisis looks a lot like Ignacio Duarte-Rodriguez. The 77-year old grandfather was struck in a hit-and-run crash while trying to cross a high-speed, six-lane road without crosswalks near his son’s home in Phoenix, Arizona. He was one of the more than 6,000 people killed while walking in America in 2018. In the last ten years, there has been a 50 percent increase in pedestrian deaths. The tragedy of traffic violence has barely registered with the media and wider culture. Disproportionately the victims are like Duarte-Rodriguez—immigrants, the poor, and people of color. They have largely been blamed and forgotten. In Right of Way, journalist Angie Schmitt shows us that deaths like Duarte-Rodriguez’s are not unavoidable “accidents.” They don’t happen because of jaywalking or distracted walking. They are predictable, occurring in stark geographic patterns that tell a story about systemic inequality. These deaths are the forgotten faces of an increasingly urgent public-health crisis that we have the tools, but not the will, to solve. Schmitt examines the possible causes of the increase in pedestrian deaths as well as programs and movements that are beginning to respond to the epidemic. Her investigation unveils why pedestrians are dying—and she demands action. Right of Way is a call to reframe the problem, acknowledge the role of racism and classism in the public response to these deaths, and energize advocacy around road safety. Ultimately, Schmitt argues that we need improvements in infrastructure and changes to policy to save lives. Right of Way unveils a crisis that is rooted in both inequality and the undeterred reign of the automobile in our cities. It challenges us to imagine and demand safer and more equitable cities, where no one is expendable.

When Nick Lyerly received his call to the ministry, he was already settled with a family and a promising career. But even though answering the call would bring insurmountable challenges, he could not deny his true purpose. However, the road to Nicks dream of becoming a Methodist minister would be paved with hardship. In Finding My Way Home, author and pastor Nick Lyerly shares his story of overcoming in the face of struggle, hardship, and disappointment. During his early years, Nicks family was struck by tragedy, and he became a rebellious youth, acting out in ways that would constantly haunt him. In spite of this, Nick grew to be devout Christian who would hear the call from God. Nicks faith and marriage would be put to the test while he attended seminary for four years away from his wife and son, but he remained steadfast. Yet even as he fulfils this call and ministers his own church, an unforeseen event would threaten his career before it had even begun. Was this part of Gods plan? Even though our lives may not always turn out the way we plan, God can provide us with peace and joy through all the soul-searching, frustration, and indecision. Join Nick on his remarkable journey of self-discovery and redemption as he finds his way back home to God.
