Nashville Church of Scientology Celebrates the Holiday Season
How do Scientologists celebrate the holidays? You might be surprised.
Because the Scientology religion is practiced in 165 countries and territories, Scientologists come from a wide variety of faiths and cultural traditions. But no matter their background, they, like most people, gather with loved ones to enjoy the warmth of friends and family and celebrate the joy of the season.
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard honored the great religious leaders of the past for the wisdom they brought to the world, writing that Scientology shares “the goals set for Man by Christ, which are wisdom, good health and immortality.” It is in this spirit that Scientologists celebrate the holiday season, whether they observe Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or any other religious or cultural tradition.
Pastor of the Nashville Church, Rev. Brian Fesler, says, “our church captures the spirit of the holidays. We bring people together to celebrate and plan the year ahead, and everyone is welcome here throughout the season.”
The Church annually celebrates New Year’s Eve with a large-scale event that all parishioners are invited to attend. It is at this event that the church reviews the accomplishments for the year and sets the course for the year to come.
