Strangers, in the strict sense, are those who are disconnected from basic relationships that give persons a secure place in the world. The most vulnerable strangers are detached from family, community, church, work, and polity.
From the introduction to Making Room by Christine Pohl, pg. 13
What is your definition of stranger?
Table Manna 
Having moved to this new area, buying a home and starting a new job I can relate to hospitality. At work they planned a brunch the first day. At home my daughter, already acclimated in Sacramento offered her friends. And now a church at the table that is very welcoming. I could so relate to Susan’s testimony. May God Bless her in NJ.
