The Brotherhood Film Series presents: All God’s Children

Sunday, Feb 22nd 4:00p to 6:00pIn an unprecedented attempt to heal centuries of racism and antisemitism, and combat the rising racial and ethnic tension in their Brooklyn communities, the largest reform synagogue and the oldest black Baptist Church attempt to unite their congregations and bring about peace, by becoming family. Shot over five years by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ondi Timoner, ALL GOD'S CHILDREN follows her sister, activist Rabbi Rachel Timoner, and her Congregation Beth Elohim's partnership with Reverend Dr. Robert Waterman of Antioch Baptist Church as their faith is put to the test and both congregations struggle not to let their differences drive them apart. Though it's a fraught partnership, they refuse to walk away, no matter how hard it gets, and ultimately emerge with an inspiring model for how other communities might build bridges across religious, economic and class divides to foster enduring, powerful partnerships. Sponsored by the Racial Justice, Social Action and Interfaith Committees and the Antisemitism Task Force.
