A project named “The House of One,” is looking to create the world’s first ever church, mosque and synagogue in Berlin, Germany, where people of different faiths can worship under one roof. The group is currently raising donations…and eyebrows.
“Under one roof: one synagogue, one mosque, one church. We want to use these rooms for our own traditions and prayers. And together we want to use the room in the middle for dialogue and discussion and also for people without faith,” explained Pastor Gregor Hohberg, a Protestant parish priest, according to a BBC News report.
“Berlin is a city where people come together from all over the world and we want to give a good example of togetherness.”
The building will apparently be built where the first church in Berlin in the 12th Century once stood. The official website for the project explains that the church, the mosque and the synagogue will all be in separate sections, but linked by a communal room in the center of the building. The room will offer a meeting place where worshippers can come together and learn more about the different religions and each other.
