Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.
Quote by Henri J. M. Nouwen
Henri Jozef Machiel Nouwen (1932 –1996) was a Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian. His interests were rooted primarily in psychology, pastoral ministry, spirituality, social justice and community.
