Order of the Knights Templar

Night before last I was inducted into the Order of the Knights Templar. It was a moving and beautiful ritual. I am going to sit back and observe for 3-4 months to get my bearings and then plan to be very active. I am very much looking forward to this.

Congratulations, Sir Knight.
The Order of the Temple has to be one of the most impressive conferrals in all of Masonry. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, the York Rite is three seperate bodies. Think of it like a confederacy where the three groups came together in a single rite for mutual benefit. To join Cryptic Masons you must be Royal Arch. To join the Templars, normally you have to go through Royal Arch and Cryptic Masons first, but that wasn't always the case (Cryptic Masons is younger than other two).
