12th Annual event, sponsored by the Southern Tier Interfaith Coalition (STIC)

People of Faith Walking Together for greater understanding and compassion

This year we walk together in the public sphere in downtown Elmira.  

This one-mile walk brings interfaith partners together and is based on the story of Abraham, a prophet common to Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Sunday, October 13th, 2024 @ 2:00 PM

• Begin in the parking lot of The Park Church (208 W. Gray Street, Elmira)
• Walk with someone of another faith community to the Elmira City Hall, Chemung County Courthouse and then back to Wisner Park
• Then drive to the IAFL Islamic Center of the Finger Lakes (499 Hickory Grove Rd. Horseheads) for a reception and STIC Annual Meeting.
• If you’re not interested in walking, come to the reception and annual meeting at IAFL at 3:30 p.m.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The walk is open to everyone, at no charge. Individuals unable to walk the route are welcome to drive from point to point, car pool with others to complete the questions, and/or participate in the reception.
