On November 29, 2003, Scientology ecclesiastical leader David Miscavige personally dedicated our restored landmark Transamerica Building in the heart of downtown as the Ideal Church of Scientology of San Francisco.
“Here is the Central Organization from which to bring all our programs, all our technology, literally everywhere,” Mr. Miscavige told the 2,500 Scientologists, guests and dignitaries lining the crossroads of Columbus Avenue and Montgomery Street. “In other words, from here you can do it all. For this is more than just a home for you, the Scientologists of San Francisco. It is also a home for the broader community—where all men and women of goodwill are welcome and who we dedicate ourselves to helping—each and every one.”
Who Is David Miscavige?
David Miscavige is the ecclesiastical leader of the Scientology religion. For three decades, Mr. Miscavige has protected, preserved and expanded Scientology worldwide.
In his position as Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center (RTC), Mr. Miscavige bears the ultimate responsibility for maintaining the accuracy and correct application of L. Ron Hubbard’s technologies of Dianetics and Scientology.
In that capacity, Mr. Miscavige has redefined the term religious leader to fit the tasks necessary to direct a truly unique, contemporary religion—a religion born in the 20th century, one which has achieved an unprecedented level of expansion in the 21st century, and today includes some 11,000 Churches, Missions and affiliated groups across 167 nations.
L. Ron Hubbard originally set a goal for Scientologists to one day create Churches that are the physical embodiment of Scientology Technology, helping all beings attain spiritual freedom.
To meet the ever-growing worldwide demand for Dianetics and Scientology services as well as Church-sponsored Social Betterment programs, David Miscavige personally committed to accomplish that goal of bringing all Scientology Churches to the standard of Ideal, just as he did with San Francisco.
