Rabbi Bruce Lustig, a senior rabbi at Washington Hebrew Congregation, proclaims that a new project in Abu Dhabi “will help build bridges between religious leaders and communities as well as foster peace and harmony in an era that is too often defined by difference.”

The rabbi is referring to plans for a new interfaith complex that will house a mosque, a church and a synagogue. The Abrahamic Family House will serve two purposes: as a place for individual worship, and also for inter-religious dialogue and exchange. The Higher Committee for Human Fraternity are the commissioners of the interfaith religious complex.

The initiative was born out of Pope Francis’ visit to the UAE last year during which a ‘declaration promoting human fraternity’ was signed by the Pope and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb.
