Volunteer
Recognition Day at the Nashville Church of Scientology will acknowledge
volunteers and inspire others to take action, exemplifying the spirit of the
day.
The
Nashville Church of Scientology will host an open house on Volunteer
Recognition Day in April to acknowledge volunteers, while also lifting up
others to help people in times of need. “Helping others is an incredible
virtue, and one that should be recognized more often,” says Rev. Brian Fesler,
pastor of the Nashville Church of Scientology.
Volunteers
will be recognized for their work over the past year, those who have shown
exemplary volunteer spirit and those who contributed to volunteer work in other
ways.
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.
