Dr West is a member of four lodges and four chapters under the English Constitution. His mother lodge is St Laurence No. 5511 (Master in 1992.) He served as Grand Registrar of the Masonic Province of Essex and is now Past Provincial Junior Grand Warden. He is the author of: Employee Engagement and the failure of leadership; The Goat, the Devil and the Freemason: a study in the history of ideas; Things to do when you have nothing to do: how to find those candidates who have been looking for you all this time.

Review :
Glyn Jarrett (Past Third Grand Principal, Essex) writes: Isaac Newton's contemporaries, many of whom were leading Freemasons at the time of the formation of the Premier Grand Lodge, found themselves forced to reconcile the determinism of 'Principia Mathematica' with their Christian beliefs. Deism seemed a way out. Dr West describes the failure of the Deist experiment and shows how it leads to a conclusion that religious statements are not just wrong, but meaningless if applied to the world of science. As our knowledge of the material world has continued to increase, the explanation, 'God knows,' is no longer acceptable and man is left with a dilemma even greater than that in time of the Deists. The tenets of Freemasonry may help to fill the fearful void left by man's abrogation of a simplistic faith and Dr West's promised sequel on meaning and Freemasonry cannot come too soon.
