A shared space does not mean “community.” It is oftentimes like that in church, where outside of the pews there is no sharing. Hospitality has two senses in the bible: welcoming of outsiders – strangers that we do not know at all, and welcoming of we know – neighbors, or church members that with whom we do not have a special relationship. So, when we talk about hospitality, we're talking about the inside care of outsiders.
