DETAILS

Exclusive showing of the award-winning documentary by director and producer Ellie Pierce. Something is happening in Omaha, Nebraska: a mosque, synagogue, church, and interfaith center side-by-side. Connected by a circular wooden bridge, an organic donation garden, and a quietly disruptive vision, can this model of coexistence in the American Midwest bridge the rising currents of division? Come watch, participate, and lead this question. Don't miss this Omaha Film Premiere - only showing on June 11. The film provides a concise yet powerful exploration of interfaith dialogue and community building in America’s heartland. Abraham’s Bridge follows members of three religious communities (Jewish, Christian, and Muslim) as they seek to preserve their individual customs and beliefs while intentionally building relationships across differences based in shared values and community care. It follows the evolution of the Tri-Faith Initiative from its conceptual beginnings in 2005 to its physical manifestation as the only interfaith project of its kind in design, scale, and scope. The producer/director of Abraham’s Bridge is Elinor (Ellie) J. Pierce, research director for the Pluralism Project at Harvard University. The Pluralism Project has been a leading force in documenting and interpreting America’s new religious diversity since 1991.
