The newest Ideal Church of Scientology resides at the knee of the Rhine River in the tri-national region bordering France and Germany along with Switzerland. For the grand opening celebration on April 25, Scientologists from cantons across the country were joined by those from France, Germany and Italy.

To properly mark the import of the moment, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board Religious Technology Center, summed up the Basel opening’s significance in addressing the audience—maintaining that the new facility gives the phrase “Swiss-made” a “whole new definition.”

Mr. Miscavige continued, “Now we come to a long-anticipated turning point in European history. A moment when a ribbon falls on a new Ideal Org and so signals a new era of tolerance, brotherhood, compassion and spiritual power. A breathless moment that will never be forgotten, so long as suns shine and planets swing.”

Basel’s new Ideal Org stands on the city’s Burgfelderstrasse mere blocks from the Swiss-French Border in the district of Great Basel-West. The 50,000-square-foot facility is quintessentially Swiss Modern in style. Just minutes from the city center, it will provide Scientology services and a common meeting ground in the tri-country corner.

The opening serves to continue forward the momentum generated by the religion’s explosive international growth, with the proliferation of Ideal Churches on every continent leading the immense expansion over the past decade.

Joining the Scientology parishioners and Church officials on Saturday were luminaries representing all levels of the Swiss cultural landscape. They included Robert Mesey, Federal Justice of Switzerland, Ret.; Ayhan Seker, Vice President of the Basel Muslim Commission; and Dr. Johann Bauer, Author and Professor.

Mr. Mesey perhaps summed up the spirit of the occasion best when he said, “Your Founder, L. Ron Hubbard, once prophesied that ‘On the day when we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.’ Today, for the people of Basel, and as stated in that magnificent booklet by your Founder, the Burgfelderstrasse has become ‘The Way to Happiness’.”

Placing this new Ideal Org in the context of the city’s diverse community was Mr. Seker, who observed, “Basel is a multicultural city. Our many religious communities practice their beliefs freely and cooperate well together. That is why I like to live here, in this center of tolerance. In fact, you cherish the sanctity of religious tolerance and foster it by your example. And in so doing you help keep alight the flame of religious respect in our city.”

The far-reaching humanitarian responsibility marked by the Ideal Org’s opening was not lost on Dr. Bauer, who emphasized, “This Ideal Org is a stronghold for all your social programs. Yes, with the opening of this Ideal Org you bear a responsibility to make it a bastion for good upon the hills of Basel. And I have every faith that you will.”
