Writings from Hospitality

by Ed Loring

August 2000     96 pages, with photographs     paper $10.00 (suggested donation)

Ed Loring, cofounder of the Open Door Community, addresses a dozen essays to Atlanta’s least, lost, and locked-out. The essays, which originally appeared in Hospitality, the community’s monthly newspaper, take the perspective of those on the streets, chronicling their daily struggles to survive and find dignity. “Prophetic hospitality is an aim of our outward journey,” Loring writes. “We join the justice struggle for daily bread, housing, liberty, and equality for all the children of this loving God.”
