THE COMMONALITY shared by the world’s principal religions Islam, Judaism and Christianity is the recognition of Abraham as the founding prophet of all three.
Its physical manifestation is the stupendous Temple Mount in Jerusalem, venerated as a holy place by Muslims, Jews and Christians alike.
This ancient convergence of separate faiths is set to acquire a momentous new symbolism in Berlin at the end of May when the foundation stone is laid for the House of One (HoO), an inter-religious place of learning, worship and reflection.
Its location is Petriplatz on the Fisher Island section of the River Spree, where the medieval city of Berlin-Colln was founded in 1237.
