The Shrine is the drinking body. Think of it, you could have both a full plate AND a full glass. ;^)

I work with a Brother in the Shrine. My Lodge is pretty heavy in York, and I have several guys talking to me about Scottish Rite. I'm just trying to focus on my Blue Lodge for my first year. All three appendant bodies sound like something I want to do though. I just can't decide which to do first once I do decide to join an appendant body.

Just to mess with everyone tell them you aren't sure about the light in SR or YR. But you are certain OES is the only true path to follow. Tell them you read it in Morals and Dogma Volume III. When they question or deny there is a Volume III say it's because OES has the true light. This is why women are always right..................
Damn I wish I had of thought about this when people kept asking me to join various things.

For the balance of this year I am planning on focusing on my Blue Lodge. After that, for several reasons I will move into YR.
My reasoning?
1) Here in PA we are the only US GL that declares ourselves "Ancient York Masons" so I feel it is the natural path.
2) The 3 York Rite bodies meet in our Lodge Building, and the nearest SR and Shriner meeting places is some distance away.
3) My first line signer, and the Brother who conferred my EA and MM degrees, as well as several of the Brothers in my lodge are very active in the YR.

Nice, SLC has some beautiful architecture I hear. Would love to see it sometime.

I picked the YR and AASR due to the additional degrees as I like degree work as well as the Christian leanings in the YR Orders.
LOL...I LOVE IT!!!!

Wow, unbelievable. That is absolutely beautiful. Never saw Guthrie's Valley but can't imagine it topping that.

Very Nice!
Other than KT and Mark, where do you find Christian leanings?

In the Knight Templar Order.
Right. That is KT for short. You indicated you found Christian leanings in the "YR Orders", plural

Sorry Brother, have not been in Masonry long and I guess I am still attempting getting my terminology down pat, lol.
