Sep 20 Saturday
Join faith leaders and community members from across Northwest Arkansas for a meaningful day of connection, reflection, and action. Focused on the theme “Neighbor to Neighbor: Bridging Divides with Faith and Courage,” this regional event unites people of faith—covering various religious traditions, political views, and racial backgrounds—to address the urgent issue of toxic polarization in our communities and country.
We are proud to welcome the Rev. Dr. David Latimore as our keynote speaker. In partnership with The Momentary and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the day will feature inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, and meaningful table discussions. Guided by our shared values, we will foster space for respectful, courageous, and constructive civic dialogue.
Together, we will explore how our faith calls us to courageously show up during times of division and how we can strengthen our collective impact through deeper relationships and shared purpose.
Lunch will be provided, offering an additional opportunity for informal connection and fellowship.
Whether you’re a clergy leader, community organizer, or someone committed to bridge-building in your neighborhood, this gathering offers an opportunity to help shape a more connected, resilient, and flourishing Northwest Arkansas—neighbor by neighbor.
Free, tickets required. Reserve your spot online through OneAmerica.
