More Information on Scientology

There are a number of studies that have been done on Scientology by religious scholars. Scientology applied religious philosophy is a very unique approach to improving life and increasing awareness. Unfortunately there are some who have misunderstood its goals and how these are accomplished. But papers like these help to bring about greater understanding of the subject:
Is Scientology a Religion? and Scientology A comparison with Religions of the East and West

Here's a page that has some interesting information too - along the same lines:
the Church of Scientology and its Members

Scientologists are traditionally ardent advocates of religious freedom and human rights. Here is a paper that was delivered on the subject by
Rev. Susan Taylor of the Founding Church of Scientology in Washington DC and here is a web site on the
Church of Scientology International European Public Affairs and Human Rights Office

Another example of human rights advocates is Leisa Goodman,
Church of Scientology International Human Rights Director. Ms. Goodman is a very outspoken proponent of human rights. She has spearheaded the movement to educate people on the subject, finding that most people don't have any idea what their human rights are. She helped create Youth for Human Rights International (YHRI) and lends them her many years of experience as an advisor.

Here is another article by Ms. Goodman on the subject of Scientology.

Another group who are great advocates for human rights of a different and unique form is Ability.org.uk Their mission is to help persons with disabilities live a full and active life, using the potential of the Internet to empower them with the skills and information they need to compete on an equal footing with others, and to show them that the keynote is Ability.
