Miscavige quote: “Today you are witnessing history: This first new Advanced Organization in our Golden Age, this nation where new millennium Churches of Scientology first arose, this launch point to bring our help everywhere else. If anything qualifies as ‘consecrated ground,’ then this is certainly it. And it’s all the more sacred, since this is also where they will tell you Mankind was born and the ‘umbilical cord’ still lies buried beneath our feet. But, either way, you are standing at the crossroads of three million years gone and an infinite future to come.”

[Since 2003, Scientology leader David Miscavige has been on an ambitious quest to upgrade every one of Scientology’s “orgs” — its name for churches. One after another, orgs are being replaced by “Ideal Orgs” in what Miscavige claims represents an expansion of the church’s reach. (In this case, an “Advanced Org” has been added in South Africa.) Local members are under intense pressure to raise funds for the multimillion-dollar projects, but there’s no evidence that fancier facilities are bringing in new members. We’re maintaining pages for each Ideal Org, and we’re hoping you’ll help us keep up to date about these places by sending us information about them.]
