(Wilmington, N.C.) — WilmingtonFAVS will host the first WilmingtonFAVS Religious Arts Walking Tour 3-5 p.m. Aug. 19 and Aug. 26, featuring six downtown-area churches. Each tour begins at St. Mary Catholic Church at 412 Ann St. and continues to First Presbyterian Church, St. James Episcopal Church, Temple of Israel, First Baptist Church and St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.

At each congregation, WilmingtonFAVS editor and longtime local religion reporter Amanda Greene will guide tour participants through the major art pieces of each worship space. Water breaks will be provided at each stop.

Tickets are a $10 suggested donation. The event is a fundraiser for WilmingtonFAVS.com, the Wilmington news nonprofit that reports on faith and ethics trends in Southeastern North Carolina.

Editor Amanda Greene is available for interviews about the new downtown tour and about the unique news model that is WilmingtonFAVS.com. Call her at 910-520-3958 or email her.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
