Interesting. I will have to look into that. This is new to me.

Sign of the good Sheppard ? Never heard of that.

Neither have I. Maybe I've seen it and did not know what it was called.

Is this the same as in the Scottish Rite?

AASR-SJ is the place I learned to us the arms in the Good Shepard position. I've seen Brothers to that at blue lodge and have done so myself. I've never seen it taught at blue lodge so I figured it was always a sign the Brother was an SR Brother.

Interesting variation that it is taught in at least one jurisdiction.

It is taught in the First Degree in NM. After nearly three years away I still find myself "almost" doing it every time.

 

[Ripcord22A]

Both OR and NM do it. In Oregon its also the "Masonic Position of Attention". Used when forming ranks for accepting official visitors and during obligations, masonic funerals and the like

It's also called, the 'Grand Honor' but maybe we shouldn't speak anymore about it.

Does the saying, "when in Rome, do as the Romans" mean anything?

As a visitor, you should observe and participate as a good guest to your host.
They already know that you're a visitor.

Nothing to sweat about.

I am privileged to visit my brethren lodges of the MWGLofIL.
It's always a cordial affair and it hasn't mattered yet that i might do things the Prince Hall way during a tyled meeting.
Nobody cares.

Grand Honours are a different thing, at least in my GLs.

Well, I wondered why those folks did so when visiting in UT. Thanks

Which jurisdiction calls it that?

UGVL has movements called "Grand Honours"

Most jurisdictions do. I had not heard of the Sign of the Good Shepherd as one

 

[Ripcord22A]

NMPHA uses it as part of theirs but theres mire to it than just that.

Funny thing about Grand Honors...in NM they only have 1 GH and use it in public and pvt. In Oregon we have 2. Public and pvt. Public is the 3x3 and pvt is all 3 dg and Penalsigns (and just so no one jumps down my throat, that is written monitorially in our ritual so its not a secret)

Thank you Brother. I joined the AASR this past November and was taught the folded arm left over right technique. I'm not sure if I was not informed what it was called or If I was told and just forgot. Was a lot to take in in two days.

Same here. To me Grand Honors means only one thing, which I will not describe on an open forum.

We only have 1 and will use it in when cowans are present

 

[Glen Cook]

Many US GLs have two. The public grand honors are 3x3
