DAVID MISCAVIGE - HISTORICAL EVENT OF 1995

MR. DAVID MISCAVIGE, GUEST SPEAKER
AT THE GRAND OPENING OF THE
FOUNDING CHURCH IN WASHINGTON D.C.

~ Part 4 ~

THE FOUNDING CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY October 21st, 1995
marked the grand opening of the Founding Church of Washington,

DC's new home in the magnificently restored landmark,

Fraser Mansion.

The celebration began with the official ribbon cutting ceremony. It was appropriate that Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center, as the highest ecclesiastical official of the Scientology religion, opened and dedicated the new Founding Church to L. Ron Hubbard.

Mr. David Miscavige:

Tens of thousands of hours went into the building’s restoration. This included: massive renovation efforts that spanned every trade from electrical to plumbing, to construction and cabinetry.

This was truly a cooperative effort — from the Founding Church D.C. staff and public to Sea Organization members from New York and Los Angeles and literally hundreds of Scientologists from all up and down the east coast as well as from Chicago, Indianapolis, Seattle and Puerto Rico!
I want to personally acknowledge and thank all of you for what you have done to make this new organization a reality.

You have a new centerpiece for the expansion of Scientology into the nation’s capitol. This new organization is our gift to you — the Scientologists in the city of D.C.. Don’t consider this Church just a “building”. Consider it your home. Because that is what it is intended to be. You have available to you here the finest facilities on earth to train and to go free. Avail yourself of them.

We are at threshold of a new era — a vital one. The battles of yesteryears and decades are gone. And it is time to move forward to create a new and glorious future.

And who will create that future? You will.

This facility represents the center for change; Your center from which you reach out.
