Stephan A. Hoeller (November 27, 1931 – May 3, 2026)[1][2] was an American author, lecturer and neo-Gnostic bishop.[3]

Career

[edit]

A lecturer and writer of books and articles about Gnosticism and Jungian psychology, Hoeller was also Regionary Bishop of Ecclesia Gnostica.[4]

Hoeller was ordained to the priesthood in the American Catholic Church by Bishop Lowell P. Wadle in 1958,[5] and consecrated bishop by Richard Duc de Palatine on April 9, 1967.[6] After the death of Palatine, Hoeller changed Palatine's church's name — the Pre-Nicene Gnostic Catholic Church — to Ecclesia Gnostica,[7] and has since held the title of Regionary Bishop.

Hoeller lectured in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Hungary, Germany, and the United States.[8] He was a member of the lecturing faculty of the late Manly P. Hall's Philosophical Research Society, and a speaker for the Theosophical Society in America.[9] His articles were published in Gnosis and Quest Magazine.
