Far from being apolitical, the practice of hospitality is always sustained by some political assumptions. A hospitality equated with openness, tolerance, and pluralism is entrenched in a particular kind of politics: the polity of our liberal democratic nation-state. By practicing such hospitality, Christians embrace the politics of liberalism, all the while failing to notice that it is a politics. Liberal democratic politics relegates hospitality, along with “faith” and “religion” more broadly, to an apolitical sphere. Stated differently, our liberal democratic polity has led many Christians to fail to see the church itself as a political body. When we fail to see this, we are easily seduced into serving the nation-state rather than the church.
