When the Ministry first started five years or more ago, its first members took on active roles as President, Secretary and Treasurer. Our purpose then was purely that of helping others, and we held activities to bring income to the group that we could then return to the community. At that time we were not delivering Scientology, and each of us had our own spiritual views.
Many changes have happened since that time. First there were some efforts on the part of people in the freezone (that is, former Scientologists who were no longer connected to the COS) to form groups that would help people locate those who wanted Scientology services outside of the Church of Scientology. Currently there is a group, called casegain, that is a newsgroup where people can get answers about the freezone and determine whether receiving auditing and training in the freezone is a better answer for them than what they are doing now to receive spiritual technology.
Although many changes have occurred over the last three or so years, it doesn’t mean that our original purpose to help those less fortunate than ourselves has been forgotten. Without ample food in people’s stomachs and clean water and housing, there is little likelihood of anyone having enough free attention to achieve spiritual enlightenment. We donate a good portion of our Ministry’s income to those in need or want.
An easy way to help people around the world with food is just to stop by The Hunger Site. It won’t cost you anything; it won’t put unwanted e-mails into your e-mail box. Just go there and click where it says “donate” and the advertisers will pay for the food.
