Many organizations claim they are inclusive, but what does that mean? We can say that we welcome everyone, that all are included, but reality can kick in when we realize that diverse people may bring diverse ideas and behaviors. How many of those ideas are acceptable, even to a community that is open to diverse beliefs? What kinds of behaviors are acceptable, even in a ‘tolerant community? We’ll explore radical hospitality as a way to be more inclusive to everyone, from those who are just curious about us, to our longest-term members.
