Chapter 66 of the rule of Benedict says:
At the door of the monastery, place a sensible person, as soon as anyone knocks or a poor person calls out, the porter will reply “Thanks be to God” or “Your blessing please,” then with all the gentleness that comes from reverence of God, provide a prompt answer with the warmth of love.
That’s what you call a ‘Big Welcome’ – written 1500 years ago!
This year’s ‘Big Welcome’ campaign encourages churches to invite the local community to their Christmas events… events where guests will receive the same warmth of love mentioned above.
