Heb 11,13), which leads to welcoming the other as a gift of God, to\u00a0philoxenia<\/em>\u00a0(cf. Heb 13,2).<\/p>\n Christians are called upon to be strangers capable of hospitality. The church of God, local churches, and Christians live in anticipation of the Kingdom while being migrants towards the heavenly Jerusalem. The conference will attempt to illustrate some aspects and moments of this constituent and fertile tension of being a church in journey by drawing especially on the rich tradition of the Christian East and on the teaching of the fathers, the example of monasticism, but also by listening to the experience of Orthodox Churches today.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0monasterodibose.it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two Patriarchs will attend the Ecumenical International Conference on Orthodox Spirituality in Bose, Italy.
