On September 25, 2004, New York’s 46th Street — just off Times Square in Manhattan — was closed for the first time in history, to permit an unprecedented gathering of more than 10,000 people on hand to celebrate the grand opening of the new Church of Scientology of New York.
Mr. David Miscavige gave the inaugural address, presenting the far-reaching scope of Scientology’s work in society — and the story behind this new Church.
For as Mr. David Miscavige explained, it was here that New York Scientologists inspired the world following the tragic events of 9/11 that “Something Could Be Done About It” — a single phrase that now drives a global movement bringing help and hope to millions in nations across the world.
What follows are extracts from this pivotal event.
