The Connecticut Council for Interreligious Understanding (CCIU) is planning a similar benefit fund raising event in the fall. Mr. James Friedman of the Council had this to say after a preview screening of the documentary: “It was a thrilling experience, a very special step in our interreligious journey. Your production is absolutel

The Rev. Paul Chafee, former Executive Director of the Interfaith Center at the Presidio in San Francisco reporting on a preview screening at the North American Interfaith Network, National Conference: wrote the following: “The simplistic, often unfortunate divide between Abrahamic and Asian religions was challenged with the premier screening of The Asian and Abrahamic Religions: A Divine Encounter in America…the film was emotionally overwhelming, a movie I’ve waited my whole life to see…told from the perspective of Abrahamic and Asian religions in the United States, it demonstrates how the nation’s emergent interfaith community is so much bigger than even interfaith activists have realized. May it be seen over and over again as the children of Abraham and the children of Asia get to know each other better.

The Asian and Abrahamic Religion: A Divine Encounter in America” was the Official selection at the Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival (2010), dedicated to the exploration of the human spirit through the medium of film and discourse. -Dr. David Shaner, Professor of Asian Studies and Philosophy, Furman University and a Film Festival panel member said after the screening. “Simply a first rate documentary with critically important information shared by the world’s foremost authorities, a must for college professors, high school teachers, and religious leaders.

y stunning and unusually informative, especially about the Asian religions…Through words and pictures in your remarkable film I learned a great deal more about some of our religions than in many conversations we’ve held over the years…I believe your work can educate many about our Asian and Abrahamic religions, some of which are unknown to so many in America, and can help move us forward to an expanded level of interreligious understanding.”
