Nashville Church of Scientology Opens Its Doors to the Community

The Church of Scientology is preparing to celebrate its 32^nd year in Nashville, TN, and with that, is hosting several events for the community at large.  

The Scientology religion came into this world in 1952. As such, members of the Church recognize that as a religion, it is still young when compared to other world religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism. In a recent interview with pastor of the Nashville Church, Rev. Brian Fesler said he enjoys learning about people of other faiths, how they get along in life, and what drew them to their faith calling. “When you look at all of the diverse people of this world, it is actually very beautiful that each individual person can find a religion that gives them a path, and a calling to be able to benefit spiritually in this very materialistic world,” he said.

Rev. Fesler went on to speak about how people find Scientology, “People are naturally very curious about Scientology. We accept all kinds of people for classes and spiritual counseling. People come and go, sometimes they read a book or try an introductory course and then we’ll hear from them three years later.  Others find quickly that Scientology is the path that makes the most sense to them, and they often become members of the church.  Either way, Scientology is here to stay, and we will be here for them any time.”

The Nashville Church of Scientology will celebrate its 32^nd anniversary with a private event at the end of April. But coming this week, the church is opening its doors with a community concert in honor of World Health Day. The concert will take place in the church’s community event hall. Rev. Fesler says he expects around 80 to attend that evening. “Since we opened our doors in the beautiful Fall School building, we’ve welcomed community members to a variety of events, shows and classes. Many thousands of people have come into our building, and learned more about what we do. Some have taken a class or two, and some have just enjoyed the beautiful architecture. What is most meaningful to me is that these people have opened themselves up to learn what Scientology is all about – to see for themselves, not base an opinion on hearsay or what they see in the media.”

“Scientology is an active religion, where one seeks to know life and help people,” says Rev. Fesler, “and we thrive on positive results.” To learn more about the Church of Scientology, its programs and courses, visit www.scientology.org.
