When you tour these facilities you will see your dreams — the dreams that you as a Scientologist have had for our Church. The dreams you had that one day we would have the Church facilities that truly did justice to the breakthroughs and technology of our Founder and where the miracles of that technology could be a daily occurrence.

In Washington, D.C. those dreams are here, today.

This is YOUR Church. And more. It is your home. Your SPIRITUAL home. But, it is also from here that I ask you to do your part in spreading our crusade and achieving OUR aims:

“A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights and where Man is free to rise to greater heights, are the aims of Scientology.” — L. Ron Hubbard

And, one FINAL thing.

As you probably surmised, many traditions were born in this city that remain with us today, including this one which I think is particularly relevant:

Every evening, the night watch went around the organization and turned off all the lights... except one: the light in L. Ron Hubbard’s office always remained on.

Why?

Because L. Ron Hubbard would always return at some point during the night to take Scientology that one more step into the future.

It is my honor and great privilege to open this organization and so begin a new era for Scientology Washington, D.C..

On behalf of Religious Technology Center, and the Founding Church and Scientologists all over the world, I hereby dedicate this new building to L. Ron Hubbard.

It is over to you now. Thank you and good luck.
