Reginald Hollis

Reginald Hollis was the 9th^[1] Anglican bishop of Montreal from 1975 to 1990.

Born on 18 July 1932 in Bedworth, UK, he died in Victoria, British Columbia, on November 9, 2010.^[2] He served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War before he enrolled in theology at Selwyn College, Cambridge, and McGill University^[3] before studying for ordination and embarking on an academic ecclesiastical career with chaplaincies at the Montreal Diocese Theological College (where he also lectured^[4]) and McGill. Pastoral posts in Quebec^[5] led to an administrative role as director of parish and diocesan services back in Montreal and in the mid-1970s elevation to that see's bishopric. In 1989, he was appointed as Metropolitan of the Province of Canada.^[6]

On his retirement to Florida in 1990, he became the episcopal director of the Anglican Fellowship of Prayer^[7] and an honorary assistant bishop within the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida.
