Welcome to the forum from Australia !

Congratulations Brother, may your journey be beneficial to yourself, and those around you, including your lodge.

We have music and songbooks for our degrees which are uniform throughout the state. Our Grand Lodge publishes them. Most of the times there are words set to the music in Degrees,. but also tune to cover a preambulation of a length designed to create a beat to move to and of a length to finish...

Not a statement to win friends or encourage conversation. What Winter said I think is correct, I've got 20 years of study behind me and still learning "to understand the degrees"..

Well, you should not get that from Freemasons.. but some of them do lack patience and even those who have it, will not appreciated with being bombarded..

Well you are probably right, best to give up rather than to preserve. That might surprise some folk in here to read that from me, but you don't join Freemasonry as a casual interest and it sounds like you lack commitment. That said, if you did want to join, you've been given some good advice in...

Hello Randall. Thanks for introducing yourself, but several of your posts seem a bit spamy, but the above gives context. "Kemetic Spirituality" - interesting. I actually had to look it up..

Pantagraph gone... an end of an era..

I saw the Original Post and Bro Glen's reply and moved on. In all matters recognition, you need to check with your peak Body first, then the peak Body you wish to visit. Not the other way around. I would get it in writing for anything which might seem "unusual". (Especially noting you are from...

Never done it.. but not a bad idea. Every success with it :)

The trick here is to write as a member of the public, who happens to be a Freemason. The acceptable protocol for masonic matters is a Lodge writes to their Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge writes to Sister Grand Lodge, Sister Grand Lodge writes to its lodge, and back up and down the chain again...

Congrats and well done realising it is a start at something.

Taking to PM.

Mark and Chapter are separate here.. so we have three bodies in respect to them: A Grand Lodge lead by a Grand Master conferring the Three Degrees (but has an "Installed Board of Masters" where only Installed and PMs can be - you might make some guesses about it). That's United Grand Lodge of...

Congratulations ! "the Three Degrees of the Holy Royal Arch Chapters in Pennsylvania" Interesting.. what are their titles ? Here, we have Excellent Master Mason Companion of the Holy Royal Arch. They are split over to meetings and you are not considered a member of the Chapter until you have...

Thank you. Yes, make years ago. There lodges operate pretty much like ours, but with a bit more focus on Education. I am really looking for a lodge renewal manual. We have one, but it is old. I want to see it updated.... been trying to get it done for a few years, but it is is the old story, if...

We vote on WM, Treasure & Tyler as officer. AND some positions, auditors and MM and PM reps on the Lodge Committee - which does not make decisions, but recommendations to the lodge. All others are appointed by the incoming WM. Everyone is "invested" except WM, SW and JW who are "Installed"...

Hello Brethren Does anyone have a good (and not 200 pages) document on Lodge Renewal and how to turn around lodges in trouble ? Our GL has several, but none of them are current.. It is not just the ideas I am after, but the form, a documents someone can pick up and look at and think - that's...

Our Warrants don't have the name of all the petitioning members, only the WM, SW & JW and several other officers then a lost of a few. Space is limited on them..

The title of the thread and the above question do not really match. What are you exaclty asking, purley the question above, or is the question linked to "Travelers card, and Dues" ?
