This book explores the concept of being and becoming-at-home in a theological perspective, situated within the context of a youth club. Drawing on ethnographic research, Phoebe Hill presents an account of what authentic Christian hospitality could look like in a youth setting and the ways in which young people can enable Christian youth workers to become more fully at home. Discourses around Christian hospitality often unintentionally perpetuate implicit power imbalances. The youth club offers a context for Christian hospitality that "tips the power in favor of the young people who attend, enabling the youth leaders to share and create home with young people in a distinctive way. As young people leave the Church in droves, the Church faces the urgent and daunting task of finding new ways of being with young people on their own terms; this book offers one solution. Hill argues that homecoming is an essential task of humanity. We are connected in this common pilgrimage and the need to find places and spaces where we can be at home. Becoming at home may be harder than ever before; numerous sociological, philosophical, and theological factors are compromising our ability to dwell in the contemporary world.
