The Children of Abraham Coalition is a 501(3)c nonprofit organization and works to develop and strengthen interfaith dialogue, increasing understanding and respect between Christian, Jews and Muslims of all ages. The organization formed in 2010, when a few religious leaders in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities came together in response to growing distrust and suspicion of the Muslim community. The official religious leaders now serving the Children of Abraham Coalition are Shaheen Khan, Rabbi Steve Hart and Fr. Corey Brost, C.S.V. The mission statement of COAC includes a "call to organize events where Muslims, Jews and Christians can learn about each other's religions while working together to build a world of salaam, shalom, peace".
