Robert DeGrimston (also known as "The Teacher," and Robert Moore or Robert Moor) was a founder of The Process Church of The Final Judgment (popularly referred to as The Process) in the 1960s.

He was born on August 10 1935 in Shanghai, China.

Created in partnership with Mary Anne MacLean ("The Oracle"), who he met while they were members of the Church of Scientology^[1], The Process held that God is made of four separate parts equally worthy of worship -- Jehovah, Christ, Lucifer and Satan --- and that a person must worship all four in succession to gain enlightenment. Their newsletter was in vogue during the era of flower power, and featured articles about the Rolling Stones, Charles Manson and the like.

Robert and MaryAnne divorced in 1974, at which point MaryAnne and several original members of the group continued as the Foundation Church of the Millenium, which later became Best Friends Animal Society.
