The Church of Scientology Nashville has just announced a Friendship
Day Celebration for 2021 to be held at the end of July.
The Church of Scientology will again open its doors to the
diverse community of Nashville for Friendship Day in what will be the church’s sixth
celebration of the day.
The International Day of Friendship was established by the
United Nations General Assembly in 2011 in the belief that “friendship between
peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and
build bridges between communities.”
“We are bringing a diverse group of people together and
demonstrating the power of friendship,” says Rev. Brian Fesler, pastor of the
Church of Scientology. “Most of life’s problems come from our basic
misunderstanding of each other—a misunderstanding of intentions—getting along
with one another starts with getting to know each other.”
The Church of Scientology partners in this effort with The Way
to Happiness Association of Tennessee, which provides a community betterment
program based on the book The Way to
Happiness by L. Ron Hubbard. The initiative is predicated on the fact that
one’s survival depends on the survival of others—and that without the survival
of others, neither joy nor happiness is attainable. Several precepts in the
book promote dialogue and friendship, among them “Respect the Religious Beliefs
of Others,” “Be Worthy of Trust,” and “Try to Treat Others As You Would Want
Them to Treat You.”
The Friendship Day event will be held at the end of July. For more
