SVD Brothers Forum is a quarterly sharing, a dialogue among confreres, It is inspired by the vocation of our SVD Brothers—and open for all members of the Arnoldus Family.

Our guide questions focused on HOSPITALITY. This has always been an SVD value, even at the humble beginnings of the Society. Today, we are blessed with a worldwide network of religious houses and institutions. At the same time, our mission (and with that, our tasks) has also grown global—often with meetings far from our assigned communities.

We asked our readers to respond to the following guide questions.

1. How does the worldwide network of SVD houses support our global mission?

2. How does your own community provide hospitality for confreres from other houses, provinces?

3. Are there reasons to limit hospitality in an SVD community for “other” confreres?
