An increasing number of churches within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark engage in welcoming immigrants and refugees into the church which is traditionally associated with Danish nationality. This chapter presents a case study of such a hospitality initiative in a local neighborhood church in Denmark explored through ethnographic field work of an evening event where migrants and Danes meet for dinner, social activities and a prayer in the church building. The chapter investigates how church is produced as social space when the center of activity shifts between different participants in different venues – and likewise how hospitality can be understood along these shifts in interactions and power. The analysis proposes a plural understanding of hospitalities as intertwined in a church in which the roles of hosts and guests do neither follow membership nor nationality status and in which the religious space, the sanctuary, is not the most important space.
