How Common?

[NY.Light.II]

How common is it for a mason to go through Chapter & Council, but not Commandery? Is it acceptable to not petition for the chivalric degrees?

 

[Glen Cook]

V common in the U.K. Less common, but not unknown in the US. You need to understand the Masonic culture in your area to know how accepting others will be

 

[Brother JC]

It was not uncommon in my York Bodies in Santa Fe as we had a number of Companions who did not follow the Christian faith.

 

[Warrior1256]

Certainly not "common" in my area. Most that start the Chapter go on through to the KT, but it is not unheard of for a Brother to stop at Chapter or Council either.

 

[Companion Joe]

I only know of one guy in my area who didn't go through the Commandery. Of course, he is the only non-Christian that I'm aware I know.
If anyone has any reservations about him not going though, I've never heard it expressed. I've never given it much thought. I figure that's someone's business.
