Greeting Companions &
Visitors to our web site,
As Chairman of the Condition of
Capitular Masonry I would personally invite any Master Mason
viewing the site who wishes further Light in Royal Arch Masonry,
to contact the office, or if so disposed any Royal Arch Mason
known to you for further information.
In these first few months,
after being installed to the position which you my Companions
have elected me, I find the condition of our time honoured
institution to be acceptable. Many social events are also
planned. Golf tournaments, fish fry’s, curling bonspiels, bus
tours, and benevolent fund raisers are being sponsored by
Districts and individual Chapters. Congratulations to the
organizers and participants of these functions.
It has been noted that
attendance within a small number of Chapters is not what it was
or should be due to some discord. By allowing reason and
judgement to be unseated, temperance fails. With this in mind I
personally appeal to you my Companions , if due to some petty
variance with a Brother/Companion you feel unable to attend
Chapter, I would recommend that by being Kind, Just ,Amiable
,and Virtuous ,you endeavour to settle your differences and
demonstrate to the world the happy and beneficent effect of our
ancient and honourable institution. Be ye all of one mind ......
I believe we have been blessed
with new and vibrant continuity in this our Grand Chapter;
anyone not witnessing this hypothesis was not present at Grand
Convocation. The number of Companions alone offering their
services to this Grand Chapter is a testament unto itself into
this transformation. Fortitude will be indispensable in
modifying our methodology, by being flexible, without affecting
our time honoured message.
In closing
Be sure to check back for
upcoming initiatives’ by your Grand Council and the Committees
of the Grand Executive. We will be attempting to tweak your
interest.
My Companions and Visitors may
your summer be full of joy, peace, and happiness and your
enjoyment of friends and family a joy and blessing to your heart
and health.
R.Ex.Comp.Brian D.VanSickle
Grand Third Principal.
