SCIENTOLOGY VOLUNTEER MINISTERS


L. Ron Hubbard started up the Scientology Volunteer Ministry many years ago with the express purpose of helping people with their day to day problems. He also envisioned a corps of volunteers who could use Dianetics and Scientology techniques in emergency/disaster situations.

Over the years the Scientology Volunteer Ministers corps has built up to over 10,000 around the world.
They were active in New York during 911, they have helped with disaster relief in Florida during hurricane season and were also very much on the scene in South East Asia after the Tsunamis hit.

These people are highly trained and know what to do to help in these situations, as well as help people with personal trauma. Their motto is "Something can be done about it!"

SCIENTOLOGY IN THE UK

In the 1960's L. Ron Hubbard purchased and resided at St. Hill Manor in East Grinstead, England.

Saint Hill Manor, with its beautiful grounds, is the international training location for the "Saint Hill Special Briefing Course."

Back in the 60's Scientology Scientologists would travel from around the world to come to England for the lectures and training to become professional audidtors (counselling).

Scientology in the United Kingdom is not limited to East Grinstead, there are organizations in man cities in england, as well as an organization in Scotland.

Recently, following the bombings in London, Scientology Volunteer Ministers were on the scene working with emergency services, providing food and drinks for the rescue workers and assisting people who were in shock or upset in the area.

Scientology continues to grow England, as it does around the world. Continuing L. Ron Hubbard's legacy.

L. Ron Hubbard's Birthday

It's nearly March 13th. As I described in an earlier post,Scientology churches and missions celebrate L. Ron Hubbard's birthday. Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center is master of ceremonies, and there of recent years the LRH biographer gives a speech about some aspect of Mr. Hubbard's life, often telling anecdotes or sharing information that most Scientologists never knew before.

It is always a special time, where all Scientologists gather to pay tribute to Mr. Hubbard and the legacy he left the world -- a true religious technology.

L. Ron Hubbard instituted a tradition, back in the mid-1970's. He was asked what he would like most for his birthday and what he said was "expansion."

Take this in the right context. With the Aims of Scientology being a world without insanity, crime or war expansion of Scientology is something that benefits all mankind.

And this year is very special indeed. For the past three months, Scientology Volunteer Ministers have been in South Asia helping the areas and people hardest hit by the tsunamis to put their lives back together. They are doing such a fantastic job, and I'm sure news of what they are doing will be shared with the entire Scientology network.

You don't have to be a Scientologist to attend the L. Ron Hubbard birthday event. Many times LRH's fiction fans come to this event. Families and friends are invited. In fact, anyone who wants to find out more about Scientology is absolutely welcome.

Here's a link to a web site that has the contact information for the Scientology churches and missions.
