Culture Connection: “A Billion Years”: Author Talk and Q&A with Former Scientologist Mike Rinder

QPL’s Culture Connection is pleased to host an evening with author Mike Rinder. Rinder was raised as a Scientologist from early childhood. He went on to serve as Scientology’s international spokesperson and as the head of its Office of Special Affairs and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Church of Scientology International from its creation in 1983 until he left in 2007. Since renouncing Scientology, Rinder has become a prominent whistleblower against its abuses. He appeared in the HBO documentary “Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief” and co-hosted all three seasons of the Emmy Award–winning show “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” on A&E. He and Remini currently co-host the podcast “Scientology: Fair Game.” This program will be moderated by Brian Alessandro.
