References were made to initiatives against hate speech, emphasizing faith in public discourse and personal responsibility online. Participants discussed social media’s impact on behavior and the potential role of religion in fostering more humane interactions. The dialogue reflected the principles of “The Way to Happiness,” highlighting truthfulness, restraint, and respect. The event emphasized religion’s evolving role, advocating for effective communication and cooperation among faiths. Ivan Arjona, representing the Church of Scientology to European organizations, noted the importance of ethical conduct in preserving dignity and mutual respect. The Church of Scientology continues to expand its presence across Europe, with recognition from authorities and support for community initiatives in line with founder L. Ron Hubbard’s teachings.
