Mary Ann MacClean born November 20, 1931, in Glasgow, Scotland, dead November 14, 2005, in London, was one of the founders of The Process Church of the Final Judgment. BiographyMary Ann MacClean grew up under poor conditions with a single mother who often left her daughter with relatives. In the early 1960s, MacClean moved to the United States where she lived an immersive life with the boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. After one year, she returned to the UK and London, working as call girl and joining the Church of Scientology. Among Scientologists, she met Robert Moor, later renamed by MacClean as Robert DeGrimston. They married in 1964, created their own version of auditing (Scientology) called Compulsion Analysis, and the next year they introduced the cult, The Process Church of The Final Judgment, to a small number of friends and like-minded. DeGrimston named himself "The Teacher" and MacClean "The Oracle" in the cult that slowly grew in the numbers. MacClean took care of the ideology as well as the strategy, while DeGrimston's face became the trademark of the business activity. In 1974, MacClean overpowered her husband by excluding him from his own church. Robert DeGrimston disappeared into the United States while Mary Ann MacClean tried to further develop a cult organisation in its last moments. In 1993, The Process Church of The Final Judgment was dissolved. Their faith and teachings were outdated and the archives were consequentially destroyed. MacClean continued to engage, with a low profile, in spiritual and political life. References
