A project named "The House of One," 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, is currently raising donations.
"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.

The building doesnt look like a church, a synagogue or a mosque. It also doesnt look like it belongs in downtown Berlin. The concept is interesting but it almost looks like the architect decided to go out of his way to avoid any sort of traditional elements at all.
This is clearly all about cash. Good scam for Hohberg.
What a great Kum-Bah-Yah idea!!! [do I really need a /s tag?]
It looks like a modernized Timbuktu-style mosque.
This is nonsense . . . new wine into old wineskins.
Christians believe that Jesus was crucified, Muslims don’t. How are the two contradictory beliefs going to be reconciled?
Christians believe Jesus Christ is God, Jews don’t. Same question.
I have never understood the desire of Christians to embrace and tolerate a satanic cult.
Which is another way of simply saying it’s a mosque, wherein Satan will be worshiped, like in every other mosque.
RE: I have never understood the desire of Christians to embrace and tolerate a satanic cult.
To paraphrase the “great” Bill Clinton... it depends on the meaning of the word “Christian”...
I agree, they all believe the other is “wrong”... how is that gonna work?
Poor Church is caught between two of its rivals. Which of the three will be expected to “bend”?
A disaster from the get-go.
Will there be a room for the tradition of beheading infidels?
(how convenient, the muzzies won't have to go out and find an infidel, there's a couple of 'em in the next room.)
With respect, you ever been in an FOB? You take what you get, when you can get it, and are bloody grateful for the comfort. You really don’t care about the flavor. I have confessed to an Imam. Listened to the words of God from a Buddhist monk. Hell, we have done prayer and response over the radio at 5000 feet if it were needed, and some flyboys 7 miles above us were joining in.
I courtesy pinged xzins, because he’s done the job and knows the problems, difficulties and (possible) joys of giving the Word to a bunch of different religions while respecting them all.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
It looks like a commercial grain dryer.
Looks like a new theater, one that should be called INSANE.
We’ve had those for ages. They’re called “Unitarians”.
