In his speech at the Grand Opening of the Church of Scientology of New York, Mr. David Miscavige said:
"...when a culture falls away from spiritual pursuits into materialism well that is when man becomes just another animal and with no belief-in let alone hope of the hereafter, of something greater than just day-to-day existence then what does anything matter anyway?
"Moreover, our sense of community occurs by reason of mutual experience with others and the first sense of community is religion. Without that, real trust and integrity can be destroyed. And society itself becomes defenseless to the onslaught of evil and degradation. And that is why it is so important that every church own up to the responsibility, and role it must perform."
The Church of Scientology of New York takes this responsibility very seriously and has a very active Scientology Volunteer Ministers program where anyone can receive personal help.
The Church is open every day and from 9 am to 10 pm there is always someone there to answer questions or provide personal help.
The Church is located at: 227 West 46th Street
New York, NY 10036
