The Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre Nashville
hosted a special tea for grandparents on September 7th. This is part of a series the church does –
tea time with a twist. Guests are able to relax and chat with one another, but
also learn something from the scriptures of Scientology to help them in life.
Grandparents’ Day has been celebrated in the United
States on each Sunday following Labor Day since 1978 when President Jimmy
Carter signed a proclamation for this to be a national holiday. The holiday
focuses on recognizing the role of the millions of older Americans who are grandparents.
The founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, stressed the
importance of family, and it was this theme that drove the tea. Parishioners
and guests heard from the writings of Mr. Hubbard and learned tools that will
help them improve their relationships.
“Scientology means ‘knowing how to know,’” according to
the church’s website, “Scientology is all about learning to do things to
improve conditions in your own life and in particular in the lives of
others. An active Scientologist is not
only considered to be someone who attends a Scientology church or studies
Scientology, but rather someone who actively uses the insights and knowledge
that Scientology gives them to make a real, positive difference in the lives of
others.”
“The Church of Scientology is the perfect place to talk
about tools for life,” says parishioner Betsy Brubaker who organizes the series
of Sunday Teas at the Church.
President of the Church, Corinne Sullivan was happy to
host the tea and excited for the next, “we’ve scheduled the next one for
December 14th at 2:30pm and it will be holiday themed – everyone who
attends will be encouraged to bring gifts and we will have a gift exchange.”
