Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and members of other faiths will gather Thursday for an Interfaith Service of Prayer and Remembrance at St. Mark s Episcopal Church in Little Rock.
In a discussion about meeting each other across religious differences in the public square, in the media, in the workplace and on campus religious scholars Rachel S. Mikva and Brad Braxton will explore the idea that interfaith is everywhere, and what it means at Elmhurst University and beyond.

2020 has been an odd and unsettling year perhaps the oddest and most unsettling in our lifetimes.
I am not one to find silver linings in clouds, but here is one that I definitely succeeded in finding: my increased solitude gave me more time and mental space for reading.
