Rod Keller is all over a new development that Scientology is rolling out in Australia...

The Universe Corps is coming to Melbourne, Australia. That's the news intended to encourage Scientologists to join staff now. It's a big carrot, particularly for those without the financial means to move up the Scientology "Bridge."

The Universe Corps! The name is either inspiring or reminiscent of the more space opera aspects of Scientology, or both. Traditionally the Corps sends a team of Sea Org members to a Class V org that has achieved "Saint Hill Size."

But what was it, exactly, that defined Saint Hill Size?
