Brussels: 16-Year Milestone as Scientology Notes Belgium Social Initiatives

Wiki Article

Brussels, Belgium — Sixteen years after its dedication on Boulevard de Waterloo, the Brussels Church of Scientology is being noted anew as a local landmark in the capital of Europe. While the building’s anniversary highlights the past 16 years, representatives underline a broader timeline: Scientology’s presence in Belgium now spans 51 years.

In Brussels, the anniversary is tied to a wider message about coexistence and civic life. In a place where European decisions are shaped and discussed, the Church says its doors remain open for public visits and community events, including interfaith interaction and civic dialogue. The story is also linked to a long legal process that ended with charges being dismissed in court, a moment supporters describe as reinforcing the principle that religious minorities deserve equal treatment and due process.

Beyond the anniversary, Scientologists in Belgium highlight ongoing social betterment work, especially drug awareness and prevention programmes and human-rights education. These efforts are presented as secular resources for families, educators and local partners, including materials on substance risks and workshops that reference the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Ivan Arjona, Scientology’s representative to the European Union, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations, said: “Europe’s values are strengthened when citizens and institutions share responsibility for education news european parliament and prevention. A building’s anniversary is meaningful when it reflects daily civic contribution—dialogue, service and respect for human dignity.” Full context and background can be read here: Brussels anniversary: Scientology notes 51 years in Belgium and social betterment efforts.
