The Church of Scientology Nashville and The Way to Happiness Association of Tennessee held the annual Friendship Day Celebration for 2021.
The Church of Scientology again opened its doors to the diverse
community of Nashville for Friendship Day at the church’s sixth celebration of
the day. This year, the church featured youth
voices with a panel discussion, and other activities for young people.
Children and parents alike enjoyed a fresh-faced panel discussion
of 7-9 year olds discussing important topics on how to be a good friend, and
how this leads to a happier life.
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.”
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.”
