Dear Friends of the Interfaith Center,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that we announce the appointment of the Rev. Patricia Mathews as the new Executive Director of The Interfaith Center, effective January 1, 2024.

It is with mixed emotions that we share with you the decision of our executive director, Sophia Said, to step away from her role as Executive Director of the Interfaith Center of Arkansas in the summer of 2023. 

On Sunday February 12th, Second Baptist Church in Downtown Little Rock, honored Sophia Said, the Executive Director of The Interfaith Center of Arkansas and Founder of Madina Institute, with this prestigious award. The award was presented to Sophia during their Sunday morning worship service followed by a lovely lunch reception in their fellowship hall. This is the first time a non christian has been given this award which shows how Sophia and her work truly crosses all religious boundaries.
