Message for the 2004 New Year By Reverend Heber C. Jentzsch,President Church of Scientology International Despite the ravages of war, terrorism and natural disasters that marked 2003, there is a bright future in 2004 — not because the challenges will be less, but because every one of us has the power and ability to shape that future. It can be done by restoring the role of religion as a civilizing force. In that spirit Churches of Scientology train thousands of people each year as Volunteer Ministers. These skilled volunteers operate on the motto, expressed by our Founder, L. Ron Hubbard: “Something CAN be done about it.” They bring to the fore a spiritual technology that resolves the underlying causes of trauma, of failed parenting, of drug addiction and crime. They have reached tens of millions with the message “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life.” The civilizing influence of religion can make it possible to build more schools than prisons, release more prisoners as contributing members of society than those arrested, and graduate more students able to read and learn than those forced into lives of functional illiteracy. Something can be done about resolving conflicts of spousal abuse, economics, ethnicity and even the conflicts of nations. Religion is staying the course for a more viable future. We urge all people of goodwill to take part in making a better world and in making the help we can provide available to all. On behalf of the ministers and staff of the Church of Scientology International, we wish each and every person a happy and prosperous new year. |
