Follow on Google News | Nashville Church of Scientology Gearing Up for Second Annual Friendship Day EventInternational Day of Friendship was created to inspire peace and bridge building. At the end of July, the Church of Scientology will bring together a diverse crowd to dialogue for the occasion a second time.
International Day of Friendship is an annual observance, dignified in 2011 by the United Nations General Assembly with the idea that "friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities," The Church of Scientology will hold its second annual dialogue for the day at the end of July, with several community leaders coming together to participate. The theme this year is "Intentional Friendship," "There are so many problems in the world today caused by a basic misunderstanding of each other. If we learn something about other people we might end these problems, disputes and upsets altogether," The Church of Scientology is partnering for this effort with The Way To Happiness Association of Tennessee (TWTH-TN). TWTH-TN provides a community betterment program based on the book The Way To Happiness by L. Ron Hubbard. The program 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 are attainable. Several concepts 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."
