If you are in Dallas, make the time to visit this beautiful interfaith chapel at 5910 Cedar Springs Road in Dallas, its peaceful in there… years ago, I felt the same at the Baha’i lotus temple in New Delhi.
About the peace chapel on their website, http://interfaithpeacechapel.org/
“The Interfaith Peace Chapel is a modern masterpiece designed by award-winning and world-renowned architect Philip Johnson. It is a brilliant, inspirational design of “sculpture as architecture.” Seating up to 175 people, the chapel provides ideal space for intimate worship services, commitment ceremonies and memorial services.

This sacred space makes a bold and highly visible statement to the world about our commitment to the vision God has placed upon our hearts. We believe wholeheartedly that God will transform millions of lives through this building!”
A year ago in Dallas Morning News, I wrote about the Peace Chapel

Acknowledging the stranger
B. Inviting the other to connect with you
C.
Possible friendship
When
you say Namaste to someone, you are essentially saying, let the good in you
connect with the good in me. When the Abrahamic faiths call Salaam, Shalom and
peace to you, they are initiating a relationship with peace. May you be drenched
in peace, soaked in peace and together we will talk, think and act peace. It is
conditioning each other for creating good acts and talks. (elaborated in the speech)

Peace
Pilot began as Trayc Claybrook’s
response to a call by Jeremy Gilley of the international organization Peace One Day, who urged people across
the globe to create events in recognition of International Peace Day 2012.
Claybrook visited the Interfaith Peace Chapel, and was struck by the beauty and
grace of the structure. She sparked the
idea of projecting her recently finished videos about peace on the exterior and
interior walls of the building.
