Scientology in Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. holds a special place in the history of Scientology, as it was in Washington that L. Ron Hubbard established the Founding Church of Scientology and took on the role of Executive Director. Throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, L. Ron Hubbard delivered congresses in D.C. where Scientologists from around the world gathered to hear the latest breakthroughs in Scientology research.

On March 13th this year Mr. David Miscavige announced that all of the congresses Mr. Hubbard delivered in Washington, and those he delivered in London, Johannessburg and Melbourne were being released in CD format.

I've been listening to these lectures in chronological order and they are astounding. I highly recommend them to anyone: those new to Scientology and old-timers.

Mr. David Miscavige also announced in a recent international event that Mr. Hubbard's offices at the original premises of the Founding Church of Scientology have been completely renovated to exactly match what they looked like when L. Ron Hubbard was running that church in the 1960s. This has been turned into a museum that anyone can visit.

Several years ago the Founding Church of Scientology moved into a beautiful new premises.
Mr. Miscavige also attended the grand opening and dedicated the current home of the Church.
