This book - Scientology: The Fundamentals Of Thought is excellent beginning book on Scientology.        ARE THERE SCIENTOLOGY MINISTERS? Yes. I am a Minister of Religion, ordained and registered with the Australian government. I did my Ministers Course. There is a Minister in Scientology. I believe is a great honour. To become a Scientology Minister of religion one needs to do some exacting courses, and the last course includes study of other religions. I have read the Holy Bible, the Holy Koran, the Vedas, the Psalms of Islam, the Sutras, many Buddhist books, many other Islamic and Hindu texts, as well as the books of other newer religions. The word minister comes from latein, to be a servant. A minister in a church is not its head but there as a servant. Some might say to be a servant of the higher authority.
