This project explores the concept of the church as hospice as it provides motivation and integration for the ministry of Memorial Evangelical Lutheran Church (Washington, DC). With Christ Jesus as host and the source of all Christian hospitality, the church is called to be a 'refuge' for all travelers on life's way. In answering that call, this church hosts a day-care center for children of working mothers, a weekend hospice for youth, a coffee house, an emergency winter night-care shelter and hospitality center, a free medical clinic, a Bread for the City Center offering food, clothing, and counseling, a thrift shop, a telephone hotline, and four hospitality houses offering shelter and rehabilitative aid to homeless people. This veritable village of social ministries applies the biblical tradition of hospitality to real human needs that the church confronts in cities today.
