Here in the British Isles (all 3 Home Grand Lodges) all Lodge meetings open in the EA degree and only open up further if a degree ceremony is to be worked and once a year a Board of Installed Masters is opened. Prior to the Lodge opening in a higher degree all those not qualified leave the room...
Re: Crossing the Extraordinary Boundary Between Re
