Peace by Piece: Illustrations by Christian, Jewish and Muslim children ages 5-17

   

The book is the culmination of work by Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake’s Peace by Piece initiative. The contributors to this book are Jewish, Christian, and Muslim children aged 5 to 17 who are connected to Habitat’s Interfaith work. Youth drew pictures to describe what they think about certain elements of their own religion, and about its teachings on shelter, helping the poor, caring for the earth, being a family, and connecting to people different from oneself. This book may serve to introduce children of all ages to religions different from their own, highlighting both the familiar and unfamiliar through images and descriptions about teachings in the Abrahamic traditions. In the images compiled in this book, we see faith through the unique lens of each child, each picture. We see that youth have an uncanny ability to relate to those who are different from themselves and to relay a vision of faith that is concerned with helping those in need.

Each book is $20. Shipping and handling is included for delivery to the Continental US.

Join a Coalition

United Churches

The United Churches Coalition is 15 years old and  was founded by Timonium United Methodist Church. They offer congregations the opportunity to participate in sponsoring a Habitat house if they do not have the resources to sponsor an entire home themselves.

Annapolis & Severna Park Area Coalitions

Congregations in Anne Arundel County work together to sponsor and build homes and they find strength in partnering with others. The projects have been in Annapolis, Brooklyn, and throughout Anne Arundel County.

A new West County Coalition has begun to look for opportunities to build in the Odenton area.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Thrivent Builds Homes is expanding the home-building capacity of Habitat for Humanity affiliates and engaging thousands of volunteers nationwide.  We encourage all Lutheran Churches to join our ranks.  For information, visit the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans website.

Interfaith Volunteer Corps

A coalition of the three Abrahamic faiths that raises money, consciousness and walls to build homes and bridges between the faiths.
