We are welcoming congregations. We say so on our church buildings, on our banners, in our sermons, and on our websites but does that message really ring true for visitors and newcomers to our faith and our worship services? Sometimes the building and the things and people inside that building can send a different message. What happens to a guest after they step inside is as important to the practice of hospitality as is the initial welcome. To be truly welcoming to people of all identities, backgrounds, and characteristics, a guest is not asked to conform to standardizations but is invited to bring their full self-just as they are-into a process of continuous transformation. Radical hospitality involves both an invitation for all to come together and a commitment to constantly reshape ourselves into the multicultural and beautifully diverse beloved community of the future.

Some choose to help others as a lay minister or non-professional caregiver. This text serves as a guide for training and support for people who want to become lay ministers or group facilitators of any spiritual tradition.

Comedy is how we cope with the absurdity of life. The person who cannot step back and see how ludicrous are most of the things we encounter in life is the person who gets mired and engulfed in them. Comedy lets us step back and see the whole picture. It reminds us of what is really important which certainly includes laughing and laughing often. These four comedies each take on several situations but exaggerate them until they become enlarged and laughable. To each are added an unusual use of standard theatrical tradition. A writer of one play becomes involved with his own characters. Another play actually moves backward in time. One comedy is actually two separate plays that come together while another claims to be a musical but has no singing whatsoever. Come along for the fun and laughter and lighten your burdens for a while.
