Grand opening, new Ideal Church of Scientology Perth, Australia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As\u00a0 covered on the Scientology Newsroom:<\/p>\n

Perth may be far-flung, but the city\u2019s can-do, entrepreneurial spirit is a perfect match for the world\u2019s fastest growing, and coolest, new religion.<\/p>\n

Take the most remote major city in the world, sandwiched between largely empty vistas of oceans and deserts; add in wave after wave of hardy and hearty pioneers from England, Scotland, Italy, China, Vietnam, Greece and a score of other ethnic homelands; cook all of that in with the gung-ho, can-do spirit of Down Under; throw in battalions of gold prospectors and diamond miners; sing a couple of bars of Waltzing Matilda, add a kangaroo or two and you have the setting for the planet\u2019s newest Church of Scientology: Perth, the capital and largest city in Western Australia.<\/p>\n

The new light in this \u201cCity of Lights\u201d is just one block away from the Great Eastern Highway, a mere fifteen minutes from the Perth city centre and located by the famous Swan River that is home to the majestic black birds after which the river is named. It is here more than 1,000 Scientologists and their guests\u2014some crossing thousands of miles to reach Perth\u2014gathered on Saturday, May 5, 2018 to celebrate the grand opening of a new Church of Scientology.<\/p>\n

Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, the ecclesiastical leader of Scientology, trekked 9,000 miles to reach Perth. He told the grand opening celebrants that he\u2019ll soon embark upon a ribbon-pulling trek across another 20,000 miles. But, for Perth, Mr.\u00a0Miscavige proclaimed: \u201cThis is the NOW for which you have been waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he led the dedication ceremony, Mr.\u00a0Miscavige spoke of Scientology\u2019s new future in Western Australia. \u201cAnd with that, we step out of Dreamtime to realise the final dream before that ribbon falls\u2026 Which is to say this is now the time to bring our help wholeheartedly and indiscriminately. For only in this way, this new Church of Scientology both serves Perth and\u00a0becomes<\/em>\u00a0Perth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Miscavige has spearheaded a period of unprecedented growth with the opening of 65 new Churches in recent years.\u00a0Perth marks number 66. These Churches set a standard defined by Mr.\u00a0Hubbard and carried out by Mr.\u00a0Miscavige, which envisions every Church as a perfect expression of the religion\u2019s principles and practices, including its many community outreach and humanitarian programmes.<\/p>\n
