Workmen Unashamed

Christopher Haffner was born in Surrey and followed a career as an architect which took him to Hong Kong where he lived and worked for 33 years. Whilst there he played an active part as a Trustee of his local church and was elected to the Diocesan Synod. He was invited into Freemasonry in 1962 and followed an extensive Masonic career in Craft Freemasonry as well as in higher degree bodies in the English, Irish and Scottish Constitiutions. Until just before retiring from Hong Kong in 1993 he was District Grand Master under the English Constitution. Kit Haffner, as he is known, is the author of several books and papers on Masonic and architectural matters. He resigned from all his Masonic lodges as a result of the prejudice against Freemasonry exhibited in his local church, in order to fulfil a ministerial role. He subsequently obtained degrees in theology at two London colleges and now has a fulfilling ministry as a Reader. He is able to look back on his experiences of Freemasonry without being involved in its activities.Haffner, Christopher is the author of 'Workmen Unashamed', published 2007 under ISBN 9780853182474 and ISBN 0853182477.
