The Annual "Inter-Faith Harmony Day", held on February 8th, 2014 in Fayetteville.
It was opened by Mayor Jordan with a proclamation of peace and compassion.
Springdale Stake Public Affairs represented the Church in Washington County in the 7th, annual "Inter-Faith Harmony Day". Inter-Faith Harmony Week is recognized all over the nation and is usually held in the first 2 weeks of February. The Church in Salt Lake uses this time to build relationships with other Faiths by hosting an inter-faith event at the Conference Center every year.

Since the missionaries have been encouraged by their Mission President to also promote acts of compassion and serve, Public Affair invited them to participate.
They are encouraging members and others, to serve a person in need, give them the pass-along card and attached item, then ask them to "pay it forward" and do the same.
On February 8th, they were able to share 250 "pass-alongs", pass-along cards, pamphlets, copies of the Book of Mormon in English, Marshallese and Spanish, talk to many people, teach, testify, share and make friends with member of different faith traditions including: Catholics, Buddha, Muslims, Quakers, Unitarians, Jews, and others as well as followers of Tibetan Monk, Mohammad, the "PathWalkers", Christian Science and more.
