BISHOP TIMOTHY A. STORLIE
Within occult groups it is common for a member of one group to belong to several other groups as well. Bishop Storlie is an example of such multiple involvements.
He is a Bishop in Lewis Keizer's Home Temple Synod of Bishops.
He is Knight/Commander of the Sanctus Sophia Commandery, Order of the Grail.
He is the Spiritual Director of the Arimathea Institute (An interfaith institute named after St. Joseph of Arimathea). There you can discover that "The focus is not about 'believing in' Jesus but upon developing a deep, living relationship with his teachings and with the Divinity he knew so intimately--the Sacred Unity he called Allaha." The Arimathea Institute is an umbrella group for another group of Gnostic enterprises, including The Apostolic Guardian Church of Grace and Blessing, whose Primate (Storlie) indicates that the church has been dissolved. Storlie's wife, Rt. Rev. Debra Belshee-Storlie, is a member of the current Board of The Arimathea Institute.
He is a Hierophant (Priest) of the Templum de Octo Rosae Mysticus according to his bio in the website, which also indicates that he is a Reiki Master, a 32 deg. Mason, and an Initiator is several orders including the Sufi Martinist Order.
He is a Druid.
He is a Bishop in the Apostollic Temple of Sophia, "an independent expression of the one Holy Catholic Apostolic Church" which emphasizes "the esoteric, mystical, and theurgical teachings of advanced Catholic spirituality," and where "The Sacrament of Holy Communion is offered to all who approach the altar with reverence."
According to his bio in the Home Temple website linked above he is also co-author of a book with Dr. Lewis Keizer titled INITIATION INTO THE GRAIL MYSTERIES. He holds membership in the White Robed Monks of St. Benedict, the World Peace Society, the Pious Union of St. Joseph, the Distant Healing Network.
Perhaps he has perfected the ability to bi-locate, because in addition to all of these leisure time activities his Home Temple bio indicates he is also a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Home Health and Hospice Medical Social Worker. Rev. Storlie is a busy man!
