Scientology Is a Religion, Rules Supreme Court


THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A woman who wants to marry in a Church of Scientology chapel has won a battle in the UK's highest court

Scientology is a religion, the UK's highest court has ruled, after a woman won a battle to marry in a Church of Scientology chapel.

Scientologist Louisa Hodkin took her fight to the Supreme Court after a High Court judge ruled last year that services run by Scientologists were not "acts of worship".

But five Supreme Court justices ruled in her favour on Wednesday, announcing that the Scientology church was a "place of meeting for religious worship". » | Alice Philipson and agencies | Wednesday, December 11, 2013
