The registrar had declined to recognise the chapel as a "place of worship" - the necessary step before marriages can be solemnised - compelling Ms Hodkin to look elsewhere for her wedding venue.

POONS AWAY!!!

This would be a disaster if Scientology gets this through for it would be the first slither of the wedge to leverage official recognition as a religion.

This is so funny. Quote:

Lord Lester said her own brother had been allowed to marry at a Church of Scientology chapel in Edinburgh five years ago, a right which was permitted under Scottish law but denied south of the border.​

Why this is funny is that the Scn org in Edinburgh is called "HAPI", the Hubbard Academy of Personal Independence. They have never used the C-word in the name.
