Church of Scientology Starts Work at St. Paul Site

ST. PAUL, Minn. —KARE11, the Minneapolis-St. Paul NBC affiliate station, gives a glimpse of the new Church of Scientology of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Renovations have begun on the the former Science Museum of Minnesota in downtown St. Paul, which is being turned into the largest Church of Scientology in the Midwest.

An article in Finance and Commerce writes that the Church, “has been headquartered in the Twin Cities at 1011 Nicollet Ave. in Minneapolis since 1991. That will change when the renovated, three-story, 80,640-square-foot building at 505 N. Wabasha St. in St. Paul reopens as a Scientology ‘Ideal Church’ and its local headquarters.”

The new Scientology.org website shows a tour of the planned church.

^{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, founder of the Scientology religion}
