Still in the news

This is a press release on the grand opening of the Church of Scientology Berlin. I mentioned it before for it's architecture but there has been a lot of news with this org.

At the Grand Opening alone there was over 4,000 in attendance (I heard 5,000+). With news coverage from around the globe.

There were a number of Scientologists there, especially since this followed the announcement by Mr. David Miscavige (Chairman of the Board, Religious Technology Center) at the new years celebration of the org opening.

I have gotten to see a few of these new Churches of Scientology open, like the Church of Scientology San Francisco and they are really amazing. They are there for their city and it's really an amazing display.

Art-chitecture

I wanted to go on a bit more on this building in Berlin, the Church of Scientology that just had it's Grand Opening.

 The tour on the site that goes through the whole of the building (omitting similar rooms like the auditing rooms etc.) is where I'm getting all of my data.

Firstly the beauty in presentation in the tour alone is actually rather magnificent. Then the org itself is actually rather stunning, from the lecture spaces, to the bookstore, to the displays and on and on. The org is built with a concept of art really at every turn.

It has been this way I see now for a great number of Churches of Scientology. Take for instance just the ones opened recently by Mr. David Miscavige. This includes the gorgeous Church of Scientology New York, Church of Scientology Espana (Madrid Spain), Church of Scientology San Francisco and Church of Scientology of Johannesburg.

Each one the essence of the area and a beautiful piece of work.

 The building itself is spectacular. 40,000+ square feet, huge glass windows from end to end.

 It had been announced the Scientology New Years celebration just 2 weeks prior by the Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center, Mr. David Miscavige

Restorations

Want to see the greatest film restoration jobs ever? Check out the newly restored and fully colorized "An Introduciton to Scientology."

The original interview with L. Ron Hubbard was shot  in 1966 in Rhodesia and was not well cared for. See the film today and you may be seeing better color and film than you would see in your normal Hollywood movie.  This is following how on the trail as what made the benchmark for film restoration back in March (and still stands as it now sister with this Introduction to Scientology) was the Clearing Congress DVDs.
