Church of Scientology
About Church of Scientology
The Church of Scientology was started in 1953 by L. Ron Hubbard to promote and practice his Scientology theories and techniques. The term 'Church of Scientology' does not refer to any one corporate entity, but instead serves as a collective label for a network of privately‑held organizations, unified under the direction of its leader David Miscavige who serves as the central authority. Most of the top-level management divisions are located at 6331 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, California, or the building's side entrance 1710 Ivar Avenue. The Church of Scientology International (CSI) is officially the "mother church" responsible for guiding the other public-facing Scientology centers, which are called "orgs". Management and advanced orgs are staffed exclusively by members of the Sea Org, which is a strict organization for the most dedicated core of Scientologists.

Cartwright was awarded in 2023 the status of Patron Excalibur with Honors by the Church of Scientology, which she called 'the most beautiful acknowledgement I've ever received in my life.' The reason she's got it, I assume, is that she's donated $20 million to the Church of Scientology.
