Christian Hospitality as a Model for Global Engagement

As Baylor professors, we seek to equip and to prepare our students through global engagement for "worldwide leadership and service." Yet, if we want our students to serve and to lead others in the world, then we must also prepare them to respect, esteem, and learn from their counterparts in the world. Perhaps, the ancient custom of hospitality as practiced by the earliest Christians can serve as a helpful model for the Baylor community as we seek to engage the world more robustly so that we can lead and serve the world more effectively.
