David Miscavige Guest of Honor at the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology of London

Thousands in the UK braved the rain to attend the grand opening of the Church of Scientology of London.

The guest of honor, Chairman of the Board of Relgious Technology Center, Mr. David Miscavige, had announced that the International Association of Scientologists was providing the wherewithal for the purchase and renovations of the new church, but the renderings of the proposed building didn't do it justice as the crowds who toured through the building right after the ribbon cutting discovered.


David Miscavige made it clear, in his speech at the grand opening, that this begins a new era of expansion for Scientology in the United Kingdom. "This is the city L. Ron Hubbard himself selected as home to the first Scientology organization. This is also the city wherein he first defined the human spirit as an immortal being possessed of capabilities beyond anything predicted, and so arrived at the axiomatic truths on which the whole of Scientology is founded. Your early London organizations were also the original proving ground for the bulk of Mr. Hubbard’ s social betterment programs which are used to uplift neighborhoods just like this one."
