Our Founder

VRR Dr. Lewis S. Bostwick

In 1973, the late VRR Dr. Lewis Bostwick (1918-1995) founded the Church of Divine Man and its seminary workshop the Berkeley Psychic Institute. Lewis was a natural aura reader who saw a rainbow of colors surrounding people and who had a gift of healing. He attracted kindred souls who saw the works of Jesus as miracles of psychic healing and clairvoyance.

To celebrate the Church of Divine Man’s 50th Anniversary in 2023, we collected stories about our founder from our community
