Educational September Tea Socials Scheduled at the Scientology Information Center
Saturday September 22nd and Sept 29th at 3pm the Scientology Information Center will host a series of tea parties where people can “sip and learn.”
- Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, FL (1888PressRelease) September 06, 2018 - The occasion allows the community to enjoy tea, scones, pastries, clotted cream and jam while socializing. Afterwards guests will view of “Inside Scientology: Flag” an episode from the Scientology TV Network which provides a visual tour of the building and an intimate look at the history and significance of the Church of Scientology’s spiritual headquarters.
“Tea drinking and tea socials go back at least 5,000 years,” said Amber Skjelset, Manager of the Scientology Information Center. “Today there are thousands of teas, and it is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water. Tea can be found in almost 80% of all U.S. households.”
“People of all ages and all backgrounds usually find something they have in common and connect over tea,” said Skjelset. “In a book from 1893, Etiquette of Good Society by Lady Gertrude Elizabeth Campbell she said,
‘A tea, of whatever kind, may be made one of the most agreeable of meals; for tea always seems to produce sociability, cheerfulness, and vivacity.’”
“This Center is here for learning about new things,” said Ms. Skjelset. “It is a beautiful, unique place that provides information for the community about our beliefs, social betterment programs, Churches around the world and the life of the Founder of Scientology Founder, Mr. L. Ron Hubbard. We also host community events such as these educational teas, music events and theatrical performances. It’s a great way to bring the community together and have them enjoy themselves while learning about other people and things in life.”
