Until There is a Tower of God built in Jerusalem there shall be no Peace In This World.
"Until There is a Tower of God built in Jerusalem there shall be no Peace In This World."
These words were spoken in 1973. This Project has a goal of erecting a Tower of God in Jerusalem. It is designed to show that we are all human beings in planet earth and the way to all live together is with a basic belief in a Great Creator, with whom every human on earth has a personal relationship.
The religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity are represented in the Tower.
The first Tower was built in Wilcox, Saskatchewan by Father Athol Murray.
The Tower of God, with its walls dedicated to the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) reflects Notre Dame’s open-minded approach that welcomes students of all faiths and backgrounds.
Athol Murray died in 1975. He is buried on the campus in the shadow of the Tower of God, which he built as a testament to the three major religions that worship the same Creator: Jewish, Christian and Muslim. The fourth wall of the prominent tower is the wall of affirmation with quotes from renowned thinkers who believed in God. The stained glass windows in St. Augustine’s chapel highlight the Catholic intellectual tradition represented by St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Thomas More, Cardinal John Henry Newman, Jean-de-Brébeuf and Hilaire Belloc.
