Families of Abraham

I was 19 years old, living briefly in Jerusalem a year after the Yom Kippur War (otherwise called the 1973 Arab-Israeli War), when I was first introduced to "Father Ibrahim" by my Palestinian Christian and Muslim neighbors. My Jewish professor also spoke of "Father Abraham" and I realized the different paths we've taken away from God have taken us away from each other. Instead of obeying God's law to love, we find ways to be separate and at war.
