The theological principle undergirding this study maintains that hospitality is a gift from God. The most profound act of hospitality to the human race has been performed by God through Jesus the Christ's birth, ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection. The human race is to act out this gift in life in overcoming alienations and estrangements from one another and from God. The most important conclusion reached from the study is that continued giving of hospitality by a host to a stranger enhances the life of both host and stranger through sharing and caring. The study goes on to a particular community in which hospitality is given intentionally to residents in an attempt to empower them to become the nucleus and guiding faith community of a developing congregation. This study concludes that a faith community can be created through the giving of hospitality.
