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.
