I had the opportunity to meet Rev. Charles Kennedy about a month ago at the Celebrity Center Anniversary Gala in Hollywood. Rev. Kennedy was one of speakers, and what an inspirational man he is!

So I was delighted to find a story about what he’s doing made it into Associated Press. 

"The Rev. Charles Kennedy travels the country preaching the brilliance of L. Ron Hubbard’s words. Children in his after-school program learn with the Scientology founder’s methods; church members study one of his books. The minister calls Scientologists the kindest people he’s met and their programs the best he’s found.

"One thing sets Kennedy apart: He and his congregants are not Scientologists. They are Christians.

"The Glorious Church of God in Christ here is among a number of houses of worship across the U.S. — how many is not clear — that have begun to embrace some of the Church of Scientology’s programs."

Of course it wouldn’t be "media" without controversy. But it’s ironic.  The question I have is why are some people so dedicated to preventing people from getting real help–help that doesn’t require a life-long prescription for some med that later turns out to cause violence, suicide or fatal heart of liver complications, gross weight problems and ad infenitum (but which flows a constant stream of cash into Big Pharma coffers).

Scientology is actually very simple.  It is a study of truth, a study of knowledge, and a practical approach to the spiritual, affirming one’s spirituality and giving one the tools to operate in the physical universe while maintaining and improving one’s own integrity, freedom and responsibility.   

I leave it to you to wonder why some people would oppose something like that.
