Worshipful Brothers,
I am hoping to do quite a bit of travelling in 2019 and visiting many Lodges, among all the other things I plan to do when I go walkabout.
As such, I am hoping/expecting to be tried. Upon my return to Masonry, and to a different Lodge than the one in which I was raised, after a hiatus, the WM asked me "Are you a Mason?" and I rattled off the answering phrase from the EA exam which we all know. He asked me one or two more things, each no more difficult than that, and said that he was satisfied I am a Master Mason.
But when I go travelling I really expect to be required to do more than that. I rather hope so, anyway. And so I'm asking you: what would I expect a proper trial to be? Just running through the Master Mason Proficiency Examination? Or the exams of all three degrees of the Symbolic Lodge?
Cheers,
Darren
