Raising Interest By
Raising Knowledge |
|
|
|
1. I
believe that the way to raise interest
in the York Rite is to raise the level
of knowledge that Companions have. By
knowing more about what we do, you will
be better prepared to expound on the
Degrees to our lesser informed Brothers
of the Blue Lodge. So, to that end, I
have set out a calendar of lessons to be
reviewed during your local Council
meetings. It may be that your Council is
proficient in the lesson for this month,
and if so, please feel free to skip to
the next month. By reviewing all 12 of
these lessons, you and your Council will
be better prepared to answer questions
and do the work necessary to help
Companions complete the Degrees. These
lessons may be used as educational
talks. |

Each lesson
reviewed will be worth 1 point on the
Council Inspection. |
|
|
|
2.
Festivals or combined degree work is a
good way to help Candidates get their
degrees completed. It is also a good
source of points for Inspections, as
each Companion participating in the
Degree work earns points for his
Council. |
|
|
3.
All Councils greeting new Companions
will have an extra 1 point per Companion
added to their Council Inspection
scores. Recorders should keep track of
points earned and add them to the
Inspection Sheet or forward them to the
Arch Deputy. |
|
|
|
4.
New Proficiency cards will be worth 1
point each. Companions that already hold
a proficiency card may prove their
knowledge to any Grand Officer or Arch
Deputy and be credited the points on the
Council Inspection. |
|
|
|
So, there
are a lot of opportunities for extra
points this year, and the Council Of The
Year will open the Grand Session in
September, 2012. This will be an
opportunity to showcase your knowledge
and skill to Companions from across the
state. |
