scientology
A church or center used for the practice of Scientology, a belief system founded in the early 1950s around a process it calls auditing.
A Scientologist church or center is a space used for the practice of Scientology, a religious or belief-oriented system founded in the early 1950s which emphasizes self-improvement through a rigorous system of "auditing".
The space is intended for Scientology practice, including its process called auditing. A general counseling or teaching room is distinct from a center dedicated to that belief system.
The religious or belief-oriented practice identifies the center's purpose. A building associated with a Scientology organization can also contain offices whose immediate function is administration.
