Since its opening as an Ideal Church on September 26, 2004, the spiritual home of the Scientology religion in the Big Apple has been on a mission to offer help and hope for New Yorkers on the path to freedom.

The preeminent human rights conference commenced on Nelson Mandela International Day, historically a call to fight for freedom, promote peace, reconciliation and cultural diversity.

Recognized for its half a century of work in the Netherlands, the Church promotes drug education and morality programs for the good of all.

Finding effective—but often elusive—solutions for civic success is a holy grail among dedicated activists. They know that “building community” is possible—but it’s always so confoundingly difficult.

“People are curious” about Scientology, ecclesiastical leader David Miscavige said when he debuted the Scientology Network in March 2018. He opened the network by standing in the heart of the religion’s international home, the Flag Land Base in Clearwater, Florida. “We’ll take you through all of it,” he said. And now he has. Two new shows—on Flag and the Tampa Church—are airing on the network. Your curiosity is rewarded.

In the opening scenes of a new Inside Scientology episode, viewers appear to hover above a majestic architectural monument, the Flag Building, a 21st-century structure of sweeping steel and marble brilliantly lighted by the bronze rays of Florida’s sun.
