Hospitality is imagined as an interactive symbol, changing perspectives and encouraging stable environments of compassionate construction in society. Human rights are of crucial importance to the wellbeing of the people of our planet. But there is a sense in which they will always be an emergency measure, a response to evils as they are happening. The authors argue that a hospitable comparative theology reaches out to bring Christian hospitality into the dialogue of world religions and cultures. It will respect the identity of particular groups and yet will strive for a cosmopolitan sharing of common values. It will respect tradition but also openness to reform and re-imagining. It will encourage convergence and development in a fluid stream of committed hospitalities. 606 $aHospitality$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aChristian sociology 615 0$aHospitality$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristian sociology. 676 $a241/.671 700 $aNewlands$b G.
