Christian Wulff, Germany‘s former Federal President affirms: “It's a great idea: a Christian church, a Jewish synagogue and an Islamic mosque in one place with a common meeting place to look for common ground and develop interest in each other.

Newsletter 01/2024 - Multi-religous peace prayer

It is frightening to see how anti-Semitic violence continues to spread. It is frightening to see how Muslims are simultaneously marginalized by racism. This makes it all the more important that we do not stop reaching out to each other, listening to each other and giving space to the pain of others alongside our own.

Newsletter 03/2023 - Christmas service with Jewish and Muslim guests

"No peace among nations without peace among religions. No peace among religions without dialog among religions," the Catholic theologian Hans Küng once said. At the House of One, we see it as our task to create a lasting basis for dialog between religions. Even though we believe differently, we can live together peacefully. The multi-religious coexistence in the House of One shows that this is possible and already a reality for many.

Newsletter 02/2023 - Live from a Sukkah: Our interreligious podcast

375 years ago, the Peace of Westphalia was concluded. Thirty years of war and devastation lay behind the people of Europe. The five-year negotiations achieved something that had not been thought possible: the former adversaries joined hands, and a sustainable peace order was established.

Newsletter 01/2023 - First House of One Peace Award with Ceremony in Berlin

We need a new passion for peace. Not only on a large scale, but also in our daily togetherness. We need new ways towards a more peaceful coexistence in our society. And we need many people to do this, each and every one of them - no matter how small - and thus change the face of our world, our "one world house" (Martin Luther King).

Newsletter 02/2022 - Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Christmas and All the best for 2023

Russia's war against Ukraine has shaken security again, in a different way and somehow stronger than before, at least in Europe. We are also shaken by the cruel events in Iran, where "the fundamental values of Islam are trampled underfoot in the name of Islam", according to the words of our Imam Kadir Sanci. Pope Franziskus also just underlined in his Christmas address, "Religion must not be used to stir conflict.“

Newsletter 01/2022 - War in Europe - Religions  for Peace

"This war in Europe is a warning", Dr. Malkhaz Songulashvili, Metropolitan Bishop of Tbilisi and ambassador of the House of One in Georgia stated: "This war also demonstrates, how important it is to look for peace among the religions, without which there is almost no chance to achieve peace worldwide." Building peace, talking about peace, celebrating peace beyond all diversities is the core message of the House of One.

Newsletter 04/2021 - Donate & Write your wish on an House of One-brick

More than ever before, we look for an open togetherness, for acceptance, curiosity and regard for one another in our society. The House of One is a place that makes such encounters possible. A place where people come together to talk to each other and not about each other. A place to learn from each other and together make our world a better place.

Newsletter 03/2019 - Intercultural work shops -- Youth Exchange

The Islamic festival "Eid al-Adha" - also Kurban festival - will take place soon.

Newsletter 02/2019 - Interreligious Prayer for Christchurch and more news

Hate is destructive no matter from which direction it comes. To counter this hatred, whether it appears as anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Christian hatred or under any other name, the people in the House of One also see this as their central task. Encounter, dialogue and trust are the paths we have chosen to take for this purpose. "We - Jews, Christians and Muslims - stand side by side, because all people, regardless of what they believe, are part of a human family", said Pastor Gregor Hohberg during the prayer for peace on 20 March 2019 in Berlin, to which we had invited in memory of the victims and those left behind by the assassination of Christchurch. Defending humanity requires all of you. We cannot do this alone.
