Christ Room Hospitality is about Relationships and Family, Hosts Say
Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin called for every Christian household to have its Christ room. What would it be like if even a fraction of Christian households adopted the ancient practice of opening up a room to someone in need? Generally, people object to the idea on practical grounds. And yet, some people have taken the leap and found the experience to be deeply enriching and rewarding, if not always without its stresses and problems. Their stories provide a glimpse of what it might look like to realize Peter and Dorothy’s original vision in which hospitality was a habit of every Christian community.
