Scientology
In class, we briefly mentioned that the Church of Scientology bought the former Florence Baptist Church building at the corner of Main St. and US 42. Here is WCPO’s story about the purchase.
I also mentioned this video, an internal Scientology training video featuring Tom Cruise. Cruise uses quite a bit of Scientology jargon in the video, so you’ll want to read the “More” section under the video for some translations, as well as my fact sheet below, in order to understand what he’s talking about. (For example, he refers to “KSW,” which is a document written by L. Ron Hubbard called “Keep Scientology Working.”)

I'm Mike Hickerson, and I serve as Associate Director for the Emerging Scholars Network, a ministry of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. I also teach a variety of Bible and theology classes at Lakeside Christian Church in Northern Kentucky, write when I can, and maintain a few different websites for InterVarsity, family, and friends. This is where I publish book reviews, personal commentary about technology and society, and the occasional poem.
