Episode Synopsis

Dan dips into a tale of hospitality and inclusivity. Feet washing was an everyday and intimate service to welcome guests. Jesus welcomed the service of a woman who others thought it improper to associate with. He recognised her dignity and value and used Simon Peter's "gotcha" challenge to open his eyes to the need to treat outsiders as equals. Dan similarly encourages us to look out for opportunities to welcome others we may not normally associate with into the flow of our daily lives - it may be as simple as sharing a smile.
