The Church of Scientology Nashville is hosting a special interfaith service in observance of World Interfaith Harmony Week with a multi-religious group.
“In
order to truly combat religious discrimination in this day and age, we have to
come together and learn about the religious other,” says Rev. Brian Fesler,
Pastor of the Church of Scientology, who has called together people of many
different faiths and cultures to take part in an interfaith service for World
Interfaith Harmony Week, the first week each February.
Rev.
Fesler is passionate about bringing together all peoples and has reached out to
many different faith leaders for this special service. “Everyone, regardless of
their race, religion, culture—everyone deserves to have a voice, to live in
peace, and to practice their religion in harmony with the rest of mankind,” he
says.
The
Church of Scientology’s creed begins with the words: “We of the Church believe
that all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights;
that all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their
performance…”
“It
is part of our very fabric to support others’ rights and abilities to practice
their religion in peace, so that is what we are lifting up through this
service,” says Rev. Fesler.
The
World Interfaith Harmony Service will take place on February 7, 2020 at 7:00 pm
in the community hall of the Church of Scientology Nashville. To anyone who
wishes to participate, contact rccnashville@gmail.com.
