The Church o f Scientology In­
ternational held its final 40th anni­
versary celebration at the National
Press Club in Washington, D.C., with
the opening o f a 1600-square foot
exhibit featuring the religion’s be­
liefs, practices and social betterment
programs.
T he day was h ig h lig h te d by a
ch allen g e offered by Rev. H eber
C. J e n tz s c h , p re s id e n t o f the
C hurch, to o th er c h u rch es and
h u m a n ita ria n o rg a n iz a tio n s to
jo in w ith S cie n to lo g ists to e ra d ­
icate illiteracy and d ru g -related
crim e by the year 2005.
Comparing the goal to that set
by President John F. Kennedy in
1962 to put an American on the moon
within ten years, Rev. Jentzsch said,
“We believe that religion, all reli­
gions should lead the way to a reviv­
ing o f the spirit and creating a new
renaissance for our world. The prob­
lems o f illiteracy and drugs can be
solved.”
According to Rev. Jentzsch, the
foundation for the ambitious project
lies in the workabi 1 ity o f the Church ’ s
existing programs which successful­
ly attack the problems o f illiteracy
and drug addiction in cities around
the world.

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy
kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debtors,

thine is the kingdom, and the Power, and the glory forever.
Amen! Matthew 6: 9-3

Literacy projects run by indi­
vidual Scientologists or sponsored
by the Church, are operating around
the world, and in more than 22 inner-
city and urban communities. Accord­
ing to Rev. Jentzsch these programs
are enjoying remarkable success, rais­
ing reading levels as much as two and
three years with only 30 to 40 hours
o f tutoring. Rev. Jentzsch also noted
th a t a lth o u g h the h isto ry o f
Scientology has not been without
controversy, “ We have persisted and
we have won many victories in over­
coming the ignorance and fear that
new ideas engender.”
In October 1993 the IRS recog­
nized the Church o f Scientology and
its 150 related organizations as tax-
exempt, non-profit groups. The rul­
ing concluded the largest examina­
tion o f any organization in the agen­
cy’s history, which the Church had
requested.
“We are now moving forward,
focusing on our real objectives, help­
ing our parishioners and the commu­
nities in which they live,” said Rev.
Jentzsch.
The Church today operates more
than 2300 churches, missions and
groups in more than 100 countries
around the world.

Campaign for Human Development.
In that time, projects in Western O r­
egon have received grants totaling
$1,500,000. Nationally, more $200
million in grants and loans have been
aw arded to over 3,000 self-help
projects.
The Campaign for Human De­
velopment is not a matter o f throw­
ing money at a situation and hoping
it will go away; rather, it involves
those affected by poverty and injus­
tice. “CHD provides resources for
true involvement for those affected
by injustice. JOIN believes that if
adequate solutions are to be devel­
oped, these people have to be the key
agents that are working for change.
CHD witnesses to the world that just
c h a n g e m u st com e from the
grassroots” says Rob Justus, Direc-
tor'ofJOIN, Southeast Portland. Mark
Gast, member of the CHD Commit­
tee for W estern Oregon notes that
“CHD is involved in areas that the
Church needs to be involved in. The
people served are the ones who Jesus
speaks o f in the Beatitudes - and we
are blessed because we serve them!”
The Campaign for Human Develop­
ment follows the adage “do unto oth­
ers so they can do for themselves.”
