At Bible Camp we used to sing a song “Father Abraham had many kids.” That children’s ditty was actually taken from the thinking of St. Paul. He addresses “those who follow the faith of Abraham, who is the father of all of us.” For the Apostle, all those who worship the one God (monotheists) are children of Abraham. That tradition continues in that Judaism, Christianity and Islam all look on the faith of Abraham as the foundation of their own lives as believers. That theological reality needs to be translated into concrete practice in the way that religious people treat each other. Crusades and Jihads and Pogroms are a betrayal of the spiritual relationship that exists as the foundation of the various religious traditions.
