Who or what is a stranger?  In this chapter (5) Pohl defines “stranger” and then helps us understand different kinds of strangers. The chapter is a beautifully written piece that calls us to consider all types of outsiders and in that understanding, to begin to break down the magnitude of risk and vulnerability that keeps so many of us paralyzed when we think about becoming hosts… welcoming strangers.  The best part of the chapter, for me (Chrissy), is on the last page when Pohl reminds us that as we practice hospitality, we may start small, but our embrace of others will grow wider and wider.  We don’t have to do the hardest thing first!  But we do need to do something soon!​What will you do?
