This celebration reflects the words of humanitarian and Scientology Founder, L. Ron Hubbard who said, “Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream.”

Guests from all over the U.S., Australia, France, Germany, Morocco and Sweden joined together to celebrate the ratification of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The songs not only captured the importance of human rights, but also the spirit of Christmas. Several guests remarked that they were inspired to protect those who are vulnerable and need to be educated on their human rights.

One distinguished guest, Mr. Jay Alexander, the recently re-elected Fire Commissioner of Lealman said, “The singing was over the top. I’m an advocate for Human Rights. The world needs to move towards understanding each other. America is getting very aggressive which is not the way to go. Human rights for all is something I want to achieve.  Scientology is the embodiment of human rights.”

The concert ended with Mr. Joe Yazbeck reading a poem by Nelson Mandela: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

The Center is open to the community from 10 am to 10 pm daily.  For more information call 727-467-6966 or e-mail [email protected].
