The L. Ron Hubbard House, also known as the Original Founding Church of Scientology, is a writer's house museum and former Scientology church located at 1812 19th Street NW in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C., United States.
 The home served as the residence of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard from 1955 until 1959, during which time he incorporated the Founding Church of Scientology and performed the first Scientology wedding.
 The building is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District, a neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Church of Scientology is a multinational network and hierarchy of numerous ostensibly independent but interconnected corporate entities and other organizations devoted to the practice, administration and dissemination of Scientology, a new religious movement.
 The Church of Scientology International (CSI) is officially the Church of Scientology's parent organization, and is responsible for guiding local Scientology churches.
 At a local level, every church is a separate corporate entity set up as a licensed franchise and has its own board of directors and executives.
 The first Scientology church was incorporated in December 1953 in Camden, New Jersey by L. Ron Hubbard.
 Its international headquarters are located at the Gold Base, in an unincorporated area of Riverside County, California.
 The location at Gilman Hotsprings is private property and not accessible by the public.
 Scientology Missions International is under CSI and oversees Scientology missions, which are local Scientology organizations smaller than churches.
 The Church of Spiritual Technology (CST) is the organization which owns all the copyrights of the estate of L. Ron Hubbard.
Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (March 13, 1911 – January 24, 1986), better known as L. Ron Hubbard ( ) and often referred to by his initials, LRH, was an American author and the founder of the Church of Scientology.
 After establishing a career as a writer, becoming best known for his science fiction and fantasy stories, he developed a system called Dianetics which was first expounded in book form in May 1950.
 He subsequently developed his ideas into a wide-ranging set of doctrines and practices as part of a new religious movement that he called Scientology.
 His writings became the guiding texts for the Church of Scientology and a number of affiliated organizations that address such diverse topics as business administration, literacy and drug rehabilitation.
 The Church's dissemination of these materials led to Hubbard being listed by the "Guinness Book of World Records" as the most translated and published author in the world.
 The Guinness World Record for the most audio books published for one author is also held by Hubbard.
 In 2014, Hubbard was cited by "Smithsonian" magazine as one of the 100 most significant Americans of all time, as one of the eleven religious figures on that list.
Brain-Washing: A Synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics, sometimes referred to as The Brainwashing Manual, is a book published by the Church of Scientology in 1955.
 It purports to be a condensation of the work of Lavrentiy Beria, the Soviet secret police chief.
 The book states Kenneth Goff as author.
 Its true authorship is not clear, the three common hypotheses being: Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard, Kenneth Goff (alias Oliver Kenneth Goff), or both L Ron Hubbard and Kenneth Goff based on an acquired US agency report.
 The third hypothesis is questionable as there is not proof that the two men ever knew each other.
 Claims that L Ron Hubbard was the author are also dubious as the only source of this claim is his estranged son, L Ron Hubbard Jr., who made it his life work trying to intentionally discredit his father in every possible way, and in addition to withdrawing all his accusations before his death, has been discredited in courts of law.
Sara Elizabeth Bruce Northrup Hollister (April 8, 1924December 19, 1997) played a major role in the creation of Dianetics, which evolved into the religious movement Scientology.
 She was the second wife of science-fiction author L. Ron Hubbard, who would become the leader of the Church of Scientology.
Bare-faced Messiah: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard is a posthumous biography of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard by British journalist Russell Miller.
 First published in the United Kingdom on 26 October 1987, the book takes a critical perspective, challenging the Church of Scientology's account of Hubbard's life and work.
 It quotes extensively from official documents acquired using the Freedom of Information Act and from Hubbard's personal papers, which were obtained via a defector from the Church.
 It was also published in Australia, Canada and the United States.
Petr Mikeš (August 19, 1948 Zlín, Czechoslovakia – February 8, 2016 Benešov, Czech Republic) was a Czech poet, translator, and editor.
 In the 1970s and 1980s he took part in the samizdat edition "Texty přátel" (Texts of Friends).
 From 1993–1997 he was the influential editor-in-chief of the Moravian publishing house Votobia, and from 2000–2004 at the Periplum publishing house (and co-founder: he took its name from a line by Ezra Pound).
 He was a significant translator of Ezra Pound into Czech (he translated four generations of the Pound family into Czech: Homer Pound, Ezra Pound, Mary de Rachewiltz, and Patrizia de Rachewiltz).
 He translated members of Pound's "circle", including Basil Bunting, T.E. Hulme, and James Joyce, and even wrote a screenplay for a biopic on the life of Ezra Pound, "Solitary Volcano" (unproduced).
Scientology is a body of religious beliefs and practices developed in 1954 by American author L. Ron Hubbard (1911–86).
 Hubbard initially developed a program of ideas called Dianetics, which was distributed through the Dianetics Foundation.
 The foundation soon entered bankruptcy, and Hubbard lost the rights to his seminal publication "" in 1952.
 He then recharacterized the subject as a religion and renamed it Scientology, retaining the terminology, doctrines, the E-meter, and the practice of auditing.
 Within a year, he regained the rights to Dianetics and retained both subjects under the umbrella of the Church of Scientology.
Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972) was an expatriate American poet and critic, as well as a major figure in the early modernist movement.
 His contribution to poetry began with his development of Imagism, a movement derived from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and economy of language.
 His best-known works include "Ripostes" (1912), "Hugh Selwyn Mauberley" (1920) and the unfinished 120-section epic, "The Cantos" (1917–1969).
Scientology in the United Kingdom is practised mainly within the Church of Scientology and its related groups which go under names including "Hubbard Academy of Personal Independence" and "Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Centre".
 The national headquarters, and former global headquarters, is Saint Hill Manor at East Grinstead, which for seven years was the home of L. Ron Hubbard, the pulp fiction author who created Scientology.
 Church-connected groups promoting aspects of L. Ron Hubbard's teaching, including Narconon and CCHR, have also been active in the UK, in some cases with charitable status.
 There have also been groups practising Scientology independently of the Church.
