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. This year’s speaker is Dr. Rebecca Glazier.
Rebecca A. Glazier is a professor of political science in the School of Public Affairs at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She received her PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2009. Dr. Glazier’s research focuses on the intersection of religion and politics, U.S. foreign policy, and political communication. She is the Director of the Little Rock Congregations Study, a long-term, community-based research project that explores how religious engagement strengthens individuals, congregations, and communities. She has authored over thirty academic publications and is the author of Faith and Community: How Engagement Strengthens Members, Places of Worship, and Society (Temple University Press, 2024).
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.
