The Scientology Ecclesiastical Hierarchy![[Picture]](img/index_1.gif)

This ecclesiastical structure also helps unify and align a multitude of diverse activities in addition to the core religious services of auditing and training—such as proselytization, ecclesiastical management, relay of communication, production of dissemination materials, and many other functions. Thus, the Scientology religious community is united not only by shared beliefs and practices, but also by an organizational form uniquely suited to forwarding its religious mission. This structure also helps bring parishioners together in other ways, such as annual celebrations of Scientology holidays, including the founder’s birthday and a day set aside to acknowledge the works of ministers. Tens of thousands attend such occasions, which are hosted by churches at all levels of the hierarchy.
