Scientology Boss Expects Acceptance - 1999-02-03
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) _ The Church of Scientology's struggle to gain recognition from European governments should pay off in the next decade, the head of its international branch said Wednesday.
The Los Angeles-based church created by late science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard has been persistent in attempts to become recognized as a legitimate religion, said the Rev. Heber Jentzsch, president of Church of Scientology International.
"There is a shift," he said. "Scientology has become visible. It will happen in the next five years, maybe 10 years."
