Love Thy Neighbor is an annual interfaith service that brings central Arkansas faith communities together for an evening of music, shared wisdom, and reflection. This year’s theme “Be Still Together” invites participants to explore moments of stillness and quiet reflection with one another as a way of strengthening and building community. Speakers from various religious backgrounds will share stories, poems, and prayers from their faith traditions, and local ensembles and musicians will invite participants into times of quiet reflection and collective harmony.. The Interfaith Food Festival will follow the service in the parish hall at Saint Mark’s with delicious vegetarian dishes prepared by local caterers and faith communities.

This year’s speaker is Dr. Rebecca Glazier. Dr. Glazier is an advocate for and practitioner of faith-based community engagement.
