The issue of accessibility and approachability comes through loud and clear. A colleague visited me in a previous parish. I was anxious to have him experience our warm and welcoming congregation. He only saw the gate around the property and the lack of signage for newcomers to find their way. It was hardly visitor friendly.
Hospitality is a major theme in the Bible.
Be ye of an harborous disposition. That is hardly the way we would translate that verse today. Think of it, however. A harbor is a port in a storm. It is a safe place.
