When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong.
The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself;
for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. — Leviticus 19:33-34
We have all encountered strangers in our lives, and, at times, we have likely experienced ourselves as strangers in the world. It is also true that we seem to be living in an atmosphere with increasing hostility, violence, division, and suspicion. This Sunday, we will explore what it means to be a “stranger” and how we as Christians are called to cultivate a culture of hospitality where even strangers can feel at home.
