Career

edit

A lecturer and writer of books and articles about Gnosticism and Jungian psychology, Hoeller is also Regionary Bishop of Ecclesia Gnostica.[2]

Hoeller was ordained to the priesthood in the American Catholic Church by Bishop Lowell P. Wadle in 1958,[citation needed] and consecrated bishop by Richard Duc de Palatine on April 9, 1967.[3] After the death of Palatine, Hoeller abbreviated Palatine's church's name — the Pre-Nicene Gnostic Catholic Church — to Ecclesia Gnostica,[4] and has since held the title of Regionary Bishop.

Hoeller has lectured in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Hungary, Germany, and the United States.[citation needed] He was a member of the lecturing faculty of the late Manly P. Hall's Philosophical Research Society,[citation needed] and a national speaker for the Theosophical Society in America.[citation needed] His articles have appeared in Gnosis magazine and Quest Magazine.
