* We recognize the importance of religious holidays and events and believe strongly
in promoting religious tolerance. Rather than including the overwhelming number
of such events on the calendar, we invite you to visit the Northwest Arkansas Times
website at
http://www.nwanews.com and click on "Religion" found under "Living."
Information is also provided through The Morning News at
www.nwaonline.net/religion. These links can also be found under "Local
Resources" on the religion page of this diversity website.
