Yeah, I've never heard of any steps being removed.
News to me too although I am relatively new to Masonry.Yeah, I've never heard of any steps being removed.
There are short and long forms of lectures and ritual that is present in some jurisdictions not in others. So there are parts or sections that have been removed but nothing called steps. One of the popular appendent bodies has degrees that have been declared optional. Again not called steps.
Brother you actually enlightened me and made me want to see a Fellow Craft degree in Texas when I go visit my daughter because I believe you said that the lecture is the extended version and here in FL I believe is the short version. Or the not to detailed version -_-
Thanks thou always good to know there's more to the degree then what is seen.
If you attend a Texas second you will sit in astonishment at how fast it goes and how much has been removed. It's the most trimmed I've seen in my travels. Go elsewhere for the longer versions.
Where would you suggest for longer versions brother?
