I'm an EA studying the work with Brothers in the lodge now, so this is for the future - but I thought this might be an easy answer for someone here.
I am interested in Scottish Rite, when the day comes that I am eligible. I know that my beliefs preclude me from at least some of the lights of York Rite, but I wonder if there is a part that I might take part in, when the time is right.
I believe in a Supreme Being, but I cannot swear to believe in the Trinity. No offense intended. What I could swear to would be to uphold Christianity, as I would most religions. I was confirmed Episcopalian as a youth, and was an altar boy (acolyte). I respect the wisdom of Jesus very much, but I diverge some on the metaphysics.
Any insight would be appreciated on if that would preclude me entirely from York Rite, or if a part might be available later on.
Thanks much,
Michael
