At the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology of Buffalo, Mr. David Miscavige expressed the philosophy Scientologists embrace about the need to help their communities with the effective Scientology tools we have.
"As we look down these streets, we can speak of unemployment, we can speak of the need for renewal, we can speak of all else that plagues every part of this world in terms of addiction, illiteracy, criminality and immorality not to mention economic instability. But, if we do, my friends, let’s not speak in terms of those "problems". Let’s speak in terms of "solutions"—solutions for that which can solve every one of them. Because what drives it all is the individual—the forgotten worker and our prominent leaders.
"If revitalization is what we seek, then let’s help revitalize the individual himself. For the Scientologists of Buffalo, the church that stands before you is something we have dreamed about for decades."
Mr. Miscavige goes on to say:
"To work together and serve as an inspiration to others. For if evil, pain, bewilderment and injustice are fundamental facts of today’s existence, let’s all of us demonstrate with a stronger conviction that something can be done about it. Because, we believe in man. We know there is hope. And, because we can help, working together we will make a difference. In that light, and in recognition of this new church and the tomorrow it will bring, it is my honor to present you with this: It begins with these words from our Founder:
"’All great cathedrals began their building by the placement of a single stone.
"The building unit of a great society is the individual.’"
Since that is exactly how I feel about it, I thought I would share it here.
