Who is my neighbor? Part II

In the traditions shaped by the Bible, offering hospitality is a moral imperative.
- Ana Maria Pineda from Practicing Our Faith, edited by Dorothy C Bass

When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your GOD.
- Leviticus 19:33-34

You shall LOVE the alien as yourself! Amen
