The World Humanitarian Day open house at the
Nashville Church of Scientology inspired volunteers to take action and
exemplify the spirit of the day.
The
Nashville Church of Scientology hosted an open house on World Humanitarian Day
to uplift volunteers to take up the mantle and help others in times of need. “Now
more than ever it is important for all of us to work together to re-build our
broken world,” says Rev. Brian Fesler, pastor of the Nashville Church of
Scientology, “It will take fortitude and strength of character, but is a
necessity nonetheless.”
Joining
the Church for the event were local pastors and chaplains who were thrilled to
hear about the church’s Volunteer Minister program and offered words of support
and encouragement to those taking up the torch.
The
Church of Scientology’s Volunteer Minister program is a religious social
service created in the mid 1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard who
said, "The Volunteer Minister helps 'on a volunteer basis by restoring
purpose, truth and spiritual values to the lives of others.'"
To
make this technology broadly available, the Church has a Volunteer Minister
tent that is set up at fairs and other community events to offer help freely to
anyone. The Church also provides free online training at the Volunteer
Ministers website. Anyone of any culture or creed may train as a Volunteer
Minister and use these tools to help their families and communities. During the
open house, everyone was invited outside to see the tent where they could learn
practical skills to help others.
The
Volunteer Minister program was expressly intended for use by Scientologists and
non- Scientologists alike. Transcending all ethnic, cultural and religious
boundaries, the Volunteer Ministers program is there for anyone in need of
help. Volunteer Minister training is available free of charge through the Scientology
Volunteer Minister website to anyone who wishes to help others, at
www.volunteerministers.org.
