The Interfaith Peace Chapel is a
modern masterpiece designed by
award-winning and worldrenowned
architect Philip Johnson.
It is a brilliant, inspirational
design of “sculpture as architecture.”
The chapel will be a place
where people of all faiths, or no
faith, can participate in dialogue,
meditation and prayer. The environment and surroundings will inspire
people to join voices, hearts and minds in order to build understanding
of similarities and differences. The chapel will be our visible proclamation
to the world that we all must be committed to peace. It will stand as
a monument to the cause of peace for all who believe in it, seek it and
work for it. MORE Info...

The mission of Hope for Peace & Justice is to equip progressive people
of faith to be champions for peace and justice. Through its three
primary programs, Art for Peace & Justice, Peace PractitionerTM Training,
and Peace & Justice Activism, this organization gives voice to principles such as:
- The creation of a culture of peace rather than war.
- The value of people over profit.
- Equal rights for all people not just the majority.
- The protection of the environment before the corporate bottom line.
- Healthcare as a civil right for all people not just the wealthy.
- Adequate education as a means of societal transformation rather than
economic separation.
- The same quality of justice for the poor as for the rich.

We believe in communities of people, whether organizations or family units, working together through effective communication. Our staff of trained professionals can help and assist you and your organization through:
- facilitation of dialogue
