Rizza isn’t a Scientologist. The COS gave him “Ambassador” status as part of their strange alliance with the NOI. His father is Rev. Alfreddie Johnson, an NOI activist who founded the World Literacy Crusade. The COS supports this group as well as the NOI. It’s crazy weird.

I don't believe that Alfreddie Johnson is, or ever was in the NOI. I remember him coming onto the Scn scene in the early nineties. He presented himself and was promoted to the Scn public as a Christian minister.
Still is.
Wouldn't be the first time Tony Ortega got a small detail wrong, but that's cool. His central mission is a good one.
