The Ancient and Accepted Rite (Rose Croix)

[The Uninitiated]

The Supreme Council of England and Wales have decided to waive the requirement that candidates for Perfection need to be Trinitarian Christians.

Given the story that the Ceremony of Perfection tells, while this may now be of interest to Christians who are non-Trinitarian, I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone of an alternate religion would be interested?

Is this the right decision?

Looking at it from a different point of view, why would you not want to share that message with everyone else?

Wrong decision and the black ball awaits the first applicant followed by my resignation. The whole system of Freemasonry, with the exception of Mark of which I am not a member, seems to have lost its way. It seems to be focused purely on bums on seats forgetting the maxim of quality not quantity. Too many Lodges and Chapters with barely any members relying on guests and visitors to fill offices and rather than put a few out of their misery by surrendering warrants or allowing amalgamations, they left to struggle on.

Closure of lodges affects Provincial appointments...

I disagree with the decision and have resigned as have many others within my District.

A) It is/was a Christian order.
b) Why would a Christian order interest followers of another denomination other than badge collectors wanting to to say they are a 30', 31', etc?
C) Why would we remove all reference to the Holy Trinity in a Christian order just to allow followers of other denominations to join?

This is clearly a plan to put more bums on seats instead of directly addressing the problem. The A&AR gets overlooked with new Brethren being pushed to the HRA and Mark in preference to the A&AR. Sadly Freemasonry is following a woke pattern of society and it will be its downfall. This is my final year in Craft before I kick that into touch too.

You have missed off a selection on your list.

People like me who are too ill or to poor to enlist but wish the order success.

Is this change also being considered in the Scottish constitution? I hope not, for it seems very misguided.
