Rachel Gerner

Participants discussing passages about suffering from the Bible and the Qur'an at the October 2024 Peace Feast.

Students from the Muslim Students Association and InterVarsity Christian Fellowship will host their eighth Peace Feast — a gathering that brings Muslims and Christians together to share a meal and engage in meaningful conversations. The event encourages open dialogue, respectful listening and the opportunity to build new friendships.

The Peace Feast will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22. This semester's discussion topic, "Fasting as a Spiritual Practice," will explore the role of fasting in both faith traditions.

The event is free and open to all who are affiliated with the U of A campus. Participants are encouraged to register by Feb. 20. Transportation is available for those who request it during registration.  The event is sponsored by the Tyson Center for Faith-Friendly Workplaces, which is providing a halal Pakistani meal from BBQ Bentonville.
