Abstract
This chapter will try to shed light on this unique figure in the history of new religious movement: alleged former fiancé to world-renowned boxer Sugar Ray Robinson (1923-1989), and head of a ring of prostitution involved with the Profumo scandal in London in 1963, founder of a new religious movement, which even to this day titillates the minds of musicians, artist and members of the counterculture: Mary Ann MacLean’s character and leadership methods within The Process Church will be assessed thanks to interviews with surviving member of the Church, and previously unreleased documentation linked to the social dynamics of the movement.
