Lewis Stewart Keizer is an American Gnostic bishop. He serves as bishop of the Home Temple.
The biography on his website reads, "Dr. Lewis Keizer is a distinguished independent bishop, respected scholar, lecturer, and professional educator who has been writing and guiding men and women through spiritual studies since 1977. One of the first bishops to ordain and consecrate women, he has been a champion of civil rights and women’s issues all his life. He is listed in Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in Religion, Who's Who Among America's Teachers, and many other standard reference biographies. He was a student of Mother Jennie, a Spiritualist saint, for six years after leaving theological seminary and it was through her influence that he began to develop true interior spiritual practices and experiences. Dr. Keizer is a multi-talented person whose expertise crosses many disciplines and includes not only academics, but music and the arts, educational, social and environmental reform, and many other areas. He has written, taped, and developed materials for most of the topical areas of Home Temple study."
