Footsteps: A Journey in Faith

[Lydia Leftcoast]

This documentary was shown at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Int'l Film Festival due to its local interest.

Minneapolis has had an active Association of Downtown Churches since forever, and the top clergy at each church, temple, or mosque meet every month.

Last year a group of them visited the Middle East together, and this film tells about the trip and their reactions to it. The most interesting parts were the responses of group members to sites that are especially important to their tradition, such as the Wailing Wall, the Dome of the Rock, or the Garden of Gethsemane. However, the question of Israel and Palestine, not surprisingly, brought out some differences, although not irreconcilable ones.
