Notes for the Reflective Practitioner augpres@augsburg.edu www.augsburg.edu/president/presentations Called to serve: a vision of philanthropic leadership and work Called to serve: a vision of philanthropic leadership and work www.augsburg.edu/president/presentations Hospitality is the creation of free space where a stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer space where change can take place… The paradox of hospitality is that it wants to create emptiness, not a fearful emptiness, but a friendly emptiness where strangers can enter and find themselves free; free to sing their own songs, speak their own languages, dance their own dances; free to leave and follow their own vocations. (Henri Nouwen, Reaching Out)
