10th Annual Interfaith Iftar

This milestone gathering reflects a decade of commitment to dialogue, understanding, and shared humanity. This interfaith iftar is being proudly presented by Interfaith Jax in partnership with the St. John’s Cathedral and Jacksonville Jewish Center.

Together, we come from different traditions, yet we share a common belief: that relationships across difference are essential to the health and future of our city.

For ten years, the Interfaith Iftar has created space for people of all faiths—and of no faith—to come together at sunset during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, to break bread, listen deeply, and affirm the dignity of every person. In a time marked by polarization and mistrust, this gathering continues to stand as a testament to what is possible when we have the courage to be curious.

We are honored to welcome Megan Phelps-Roper, author of Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church, as our keynote speaker. Her personal journey offers a powerful reflection on the transformative potential of humility, curiosity, and courageous conversation, values that lie at the heart of the Interfaith Iftar.

We hope you will join us for this meaningful evening as we celebrate ten years of interfaith engagement and look ahead to the work still to be done together.
