Pure Ancient Masonry
Gerald Reilly begins a new thought-provoking series on ‘conjoined’ Masonry and ‘the soul of the body Masonic’.
The four-part series will consider the defining characteristics, lessons and benefits of Three Degrees, the Order of the Royal Arch and when conjoined, Pure Ancient Masonry.
This new series will include four parts:
Part 1. An entering apprentice: Building Better Communities
Part 2. A Fellow of the Craft: Building Better Knowledge
Part 3. A Master: Building Better Character
Part 4. A Companion in Oversight: Building a Better World
These four ‘building operations’ define the soul of the body Masonic. To be of any Earthly use, relevant, freemasonries must engage with the world as it is becoming; not, as it is receding.
It must address the ‘big questions of life’. The four-part series will consider the defining characteristics, lessons and benefits of Three Degrees, the Order of the Royal Arch and when conjoined, Pure Ancient Masonry.
This is to be understood as a fraternal Order predicated on freemasonries being an enhanced form of citizenship and ‘building’ per above. This will be expounded within the contemporary Post Truth genre.
Semantics aside (degrees/orders/steps) Pure Ancient Masonry consists of four parts. These must be experienced as a seamless oneness, between each: why not all in a Lodge opened in four stages?
