An Unexpected Journal: Community Amidst Chaos: Making Space at the Table (Volume 7 Book 2)

An Unexpected Journal: Community Amidst Chaos: Making Space at the Table (Volume 7 Book 2)

Annie Nardone
0/5 ( ratings)
During a 2014 address at Oxford’s University Church, Diana Glyer popularized the term “intellectual hospitality” – a concept rooted in C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christian” ethos. At the time, unity despite disagreement and community over cancellation was already radically countercultural. In the decade since, our world has grown even more fractured and fractious. Animosity and tribalism have grown both between and within longstanding social institutions. Yet examples of intellectual hospitality still abound. We see it in both pop-culture depictions and in practice, in the abstract realms of intellectual engagement and social media discourse and in the physical, incarnate spaces where we live, work, shop, volunteer, and worship.

This issue Where do we see Lewis’s hospitable “Mere Christian” ethos – as a companion to theological and philosophical disagreement – in art, academia, business, church, and elsewhere in the public square? What are the sources and the legacy of that ethos? In the spirit of that ethos, how can we ourselves cultivate intellectual hospitality with our fellow believers and our neighbors of every political and religious persuasion?
