WHO IS THIS FELLOW RAY HOLLINS?

Ray Hollins has been a Freemason in the Masonic Province of Worcestershire for well over fifty years.
He has been a Grand Officer in the Craft for twenty three years.  As a member of many different Orders in Freemasonry he is a Founder Member of several Lodges and various Higher Degrees.

He was formerly both Senior Lecturer at The University of Central England and Principal Examiner in Management subjects for the Chartered Institute of Building.
He is the author of several text books on Business Management and Planning & Organisation.

In addition to A Daily Advancement in Masonic Knowledge he is a regular contributor to MQ Masonic Quarterly, the official magazine of The United Grand Lodge of England.
The Spring 2005 - Issue 32, of Freemasonry Today has published an article titled "Veiled in Allegory" based on Volume One -  Short Talk No. 5.

A NEW publication (with illustrations) - scheduled to be published in early 2007, has recently been completed.  This is titled:
"The Hidden Mysteries of Nature and Science"
W. Bro. Ray Hollins and Bro. Tony Ingram have collaborated to re-write William Preston’s Second Lecture of the Fellowcraft Degree into modern prose.  The original work found in the “Green Book” of lectures is in the form of a catechism; which is rarely delivered in our Lodges these days.  This is a great pity, because the original does contain the most remarkable explanation of the mysteries of the Second Degree that, in its present form, is mistakenly considered by many to be nothing more than a ‘stepping stone’ between the First and the Third Degrees.
The new book will make the Second Degree a far more meaningful and enjoyable experience!
