The PowerPoint goes into further detail on the process that created the play, along with information on the historical roots of Abraham and more. A one-hour interactive dialogue on prejudice, stereotyping and other issues raised in the play follows. In addition, the sponsoring group receives a DVD of the documentary and an educational CD of the entire program, which includes communica- tions guidelines and materials for guided meditation and prayer. Also, facilitators will present a workshop on one of four related topics at a later date. Important Message As audience members enter the Kirk in the Hills on March 4, they'll be greeted by 6-foot-tall information panels — also designed by members of the Arts of Citizenship Program at U- M with funding from the Michigan Humanities Council — on the play and its message. Among the members of the U-M program is sophomore Miriam Liebman, who was in the original Children of Abraham cast in 2004. Also part of the March 4 show are the Reuniting the Children of Abraham video and PowerPoint presentation, followed by a facilitated discussion and reception. "Our members are looking forward to meeting members of other spiritual communities," said Dr. Norman Pritchard, Kirk in the Hills pastor. "The three faiths have a common ancestor in Abraham!" The young people of the Mosaic Youth Theater worked through their differences to find common ground. The goal of the new video is to give other children of Abraham, in other communities, the chance to do the same. Reuniting the Children of Abraham, a multimedia pro- duction, takes place 7 p.m. Saturday, March 4, at Kirk in the Hills, 1340 Long Lake Road, Bloomfield Hills.
