ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
What is the Sea Organization?
The Sea Organization (commonly referred to as the Sea Org) is the religious order for the Scientology religion and is composed of the most dedicated Scientologists in the world — individuals who have dedicated their lives to the service of their religion.
The Sea Organization is a fraternal religious order and is not incorporated or otherwise organized as a legal entity. Members of the Sea Org therefore are wholly responsible to the church of Scientology for which they work and are subject, as are all other employees of that church, to the orders and directions of its board of directors.
The Sea Org was established in 1967 and once operated from a number of ships. It was set up to help L. Ron Hubbard with research of earlier civilizations and supervise Church organizations around the world. It is also entrusted to minister the advanced services of Scientology.
The Sea Organization retains its name in celebration of the fact that Mr. Hubbard’s life was frequently connected with the sea. It exists to help keep Scientology working.
