House of One - help making it possible!

Three religions under the same roof? A synagogue, a church and a mosque, all in one building with a common entrance area? Some would call this utopic in times like these. But Rabbi Tovia Ben Chorin, Pastor Gregor Hohberg and Imam Kadir Sanci state a different perspective: All three men of God are on the special mission in promoting the creation of a unique house of worship for all three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The three separate sections of the building will be linked by a communal room in the center. According to the project's webpage this will serve as a meeting place, where worshippers and members of the public can come together and learn more about the religions and each other. No joking! Where? In Berlin, of course! The Petriplatz was chosen as a suitable location for the interreligious building since the fundaments of the city's first church lie beneath the former city square, used as a parking in the last few decades.

The construction of the house is already in progress. The site fences on Petriplatz are decorated with information posters on the project for passers-by. So far almost 1700 donors chipped into the project, adding up an amount of 1.014.780. This sounds like a lot of money but the average costs for the construction of a small communal church already total an amount of € 1,6 Mio.

Help making a great idea real, getting the blessings of three men of God and being involved into the prayers of all future worshippers of the new and unique in the world House of One!
