The Church of Scientology of Spain was a gift to the people of Spain from the International Association of Scientologists.
It is an enormous and very beautiful building in the heart of Madrid, renovated with real old world style and craftsmanship.
There is great significance to this church too because it marks the end of an era of religious intolerance and discriminatio agaist the Scientology religion in the post Franco era when the old fascist ways were slow to die off, and the new era in which Scientology is acknowledged as the bonafide religion it is.
David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center announced that the IAS was paying for the purchase and renovation of the church. And then when these renovations were done, Mr. Miscavige personally came to Madrid to dedicate the church.
The day was also marked by Tom Cruise's come to the grand opening and giving a speech. In Spanish no less!
What an unforgetable event.
