CHAPLAIN SERVICES
Scientology ministers have always acted to ease suffering and provide succor and guidance to those in need or in distress, whether a member of their congregation or simply someone in the community who may require their help. In fact Scientology ministers traditionally have seen their mission as easing temporal suffering, helping where help is required and restoring dignity to men and women at pivotal points in their lives.
Ministerial services are important for any religion, but for individual Scientologists they take on special significance: It is by helping others that ministers help accomplish the Scientology goal of making this world a better place for everyone.
For example, if a couple are experiencing marital discord and find that it is affecting their progress in auditing and training, they can turn to the Chaplain to help them work through their difficulties. Chaplains are trained in ministering Scientology marriage counseling, an exact technology for alleviating marital problems that addresses the root of all such difficulties: transgressions against the couple’s previously agreed moral code which now inhibits their communication. Or the Chaplain may help the young student suffering through his studies. Chaplains may also help the ill or injured, or a teen who cannot get along with his parents, identify, address and resolve the source of his problems.
Possessing the knowledge of Scientology Scripture, the Chaplain is well-equipped to counsel anyone through the trials and tribulations of modern life.
