| Royal Arch Masonry |
| The preparatory degrees conferred in the
Chapter are those of Mark Master, Past Master, and Most Excellent Master. All are beautiful, interesting, and teach valuable lessons, but the Most Sublime Degree of the Royal Arch is more important than all that precede it. It brings to light many essentials of the Craft contained only in this Most Sublime Degree & explains many Cryptic passages of the first three degrees incomprehensible to the Master Mason. Without a knowledge of these , the Masonic character cannot be complete. It has been said that the Royal Arch stands as the rainbow of promise of the resurrection; of that which was lost and that which shall be recovered. The value of Royal Arch Masonry will be justly appreciated by all who are exalted to the Most Sublime Degree, particularly by those who are seeking to complete their Masonic education. It reveals the full light of Ancient Craft Masonry, presents it as a complete system in accordance with the original plan, and confers at last the rights & light of a Master Mason, in fact as well as in name. It truly leads to a fuller understanding of the purposes and spirit of Freemasonry. For the first time the Master Mason can perceive the completeness of the Ancient Craft & understand how all its forms & ceremonies are the preparation for the final goal, the Most Sublime Degree of the Royal Arch Mason. Membership: Membership in the Chapter is open to Master Masons in good standing in a duly Constituted Lodge of Master Masons. To Be One Ask this Web Master |
