Verlene Cheeseboro, Director of Public Affairs of the Church of Scientology Harlem, is now the first Scientology minister ordained at the Church of Scientology of Harlem. Executive Director of the Harlem Church, Rev. Phyllis Mack, conducted the ceremony.
In performing the ordination, Rev. Mack acknowledged Cheeseboro’s completion of the required study of Scientology Scripture, her demonstration of the high ethical standards required of a Scientology minister,and Cheeseboro’s commitment to ministering to the needs of her parishioners and the community while upholding the religious and ethics precepts and principles of the Scientology religion.
The ceremony concluded with Rev. Cheeseboro delivering the Scientology Prayer for Total Freedom.
Cheeseboro, a retired officer of the New York State Department of Corrections, first learned of Scientology in 1998 from a colleague at the after-school tutoring program where she volunteered. In 2006, to make Scientology more broadly available, she became part of a corps of Scientologists determined to bring the religion to Harlem. The new 125th Street premises of the Church of Scientology of Harlem is scheduled to open in 2012.
“Harlem is very spiritual, and Scientology has been warmly welcomed here,” says Cheeseboro. “Scientology offers solutions to the myriad problems plaguing communities of color throughout the country, from education and business issues to personal relationship problems and the rampant violence visited upon our youth. And bringing Scientology to Harlem is particularly significant, because Harlem sets the trend for people of color throughout the country.”

an Ordained Scientology Minister is a weekend course that Is no more difficult than obtaining a drivers license.
Ordained Scientology Minister means they are clueless about most of the phony Scriptures especially the “super secret doctrine OT Levels”
seriously its 75 million year Old space opera where an evil galactic overload Names Xenu dumped millions of Alien souls in Volcano..and destroyed them with a Hydrogen bomb. written by a charlitain who was a pulp fiction Science fiction writer.
In Scientology you must pay Hundreds of thousands of dollars- to learn what Scientology Is about..(you learn non of this on the week long Ordained Minister course)
theres a reason its so secretive- its mind numbing and bizarre.
after you pay through the nose and mortgage you home a third time you learn your body Is infested with Space alien parasites.(what they call thetans).and the expensive auditing is nothing more than an exorcism to rid yourself of these space cooties.
there are no prayers,-there Is no spirituality- Its nothing more 1950′s pseudo science warped around anti-psychiatry rhetoric with a mix of Aryan space opera belief system.
the ruse of Ordained Ministers and Sunday services Is smoke and mirrors…a public relations con job…
Thank you,
HW
