As a new religion, Scientology has come up against discrimination from time to time. Discriminating against a religion is not a new activity for prejudiced individuals. Having a group such as Faces of Florida promoting communication between citizens of diverse backgrounds whether they be religious, racial or geographic will certainly improve our ...

Wakefield, 41, is talking anyway, braving the threats of Scientology lawyers and testing the patience of a U.S. district judge. ...

The late L. Ron Hubbard was a respectable science fiction writer in the 1940s and '50s.
