Too often we relegate parish hospitality to the few minutes immediately before or after Sunday liturgy. If we are willing to reimagine our understanding of hospitality, however, we begin to realize that welcoming others is more than bulletins and donuts (as important as those are!). Welcome All as Christ offers concrete suggestions for implementing a holistic approach to parish hospitality, grounded in St. Benedict’s invitation to “Welcome all as Christ” and set amid the pastoral realities of today’s church.

"In Welcome All as Christ, Kyler sets forth on a theology of beginnings, deftly guiding readers—faith-filled and otherwise—as they, we, join him, with all due hospitality, in thinking anew about the constant encounter that is the necessary life of the Church. Along the way he entreats us to consider how we are living the central lesson of religious life: how are we in communion with each other?"Kevin J.
