Favourite Order/Degree

[Peter Dowling]

Just out of interest, what is your favourite Order, why and has it always been this way.
My favourite Order/Degree is the Mark and always has been. I have done the chair 5 times in different Lodges.
I never used to enjoy the Craft until I went through chair joined another Lodge then became Secretary.
I also enjoy RSM and AMD.
My least favourite is Royal Arch Chapter but then it is the only Order I have not the Chair.

As a relative newbie, still progressing through the ranks on most orders, I suspect my opinions will evolve, but:

Least favourite: Holy Royal Arch - it just hasn't clicked for me
Biggest struggle: Rose Croix MWS - I couldn't get the segments to stick in my head; perhaps I need a second go around?

Mark, RAM, RCC, AMD, RSM - all appeal to my suppressed performer!

I am ADC in a AMD PM Lodge where we just do GHP and RCoB Ceremonies for the Province.

Where did you get the AMD napkins?

Where did you get the AMD napkins?

The DistGPref got a batch made... they were issued to all existing members, and all new candidates - they are worn at the Festive Board in Mark meetings (the DGP was DepPGM, now also the PGM, in Mark!)

I'll ask...

Installation as WM (and exhortation to live ...)

Advancement in the Mark Master Mason (York Rite)

Passing of the Veils in the Exaltation at the Royal Arch (American).

Arming Ceremony as Knight Beneficent of the Holy City (RER).

At the moment the Mark degree is my favourite as I'm working through the officers, currently JW.

I really like HRA Chapter and I think it clicked with me straight away and I went through the chairs soon after the Craft Chair.

I'm still getting to grips with RAM and OSM and working my way through the Grades in SRIA

I'm about to get back to Rose Croix after a long break and looking forward to getting stuck in with that.

And I'm joining a couple of Craft lodges that I've been visiting regularly so that I can get more involved with helping the newer members get the most out of the work.
