Church staff and volunteers also shared messages on the importance of human rights, drug education and more in the Osceola Courtyard at the corner of Drew and Fort Harrison for concert goers. While their parents looked at the information provided, children enjoyed the games and activities in the courtyard.
One out-of-towner told the manager of the Scientology Information Center, “I am really glad I came here. I learned so much about Scientology that I didn’t know.”
Over 2700 materials with humanitarian messages were shared with concert goers.
The Church of Scientology:
The Scientology religion was founded by humanitarian and philosopher, L. Ron Hubbard. The first Church of Scientology was formed in the United States in 1954 and has expanded to more than 11,000 churches, missions and affiliated groups in 167 nations. The Church of Scientology regularly engages in humanitarian programs and community events. Clearwater is the home of the spiritual headquarters for the Church of Scientology.
In July 2015, the Church fully restored the historic Clearwater Building and re-opened it as the Scientology Information Center for the community. The Church also restored 6 other offices on Fort Harrison Avenue that now provide information to the public on drugs, human rights, character building, criminal rehabilitation, Scientology Volunteer Ministers and mental health abuses.
Scientology founder, L. Ron Hubbard said, “A community that pulls together can make a better society for all.”
