Bump!

I am looking at some differences in craft ritual (no landmarks). If any Brother under UGLE might be willing to assist, please send me a message.

Try to get a hold of E H Cartwright's book "A Commentary on the Freemasonic Ritual". He does a comparison across several.

You could always buy a Universal Ritual book. My own lodge is nominally Emulation but with a lot of variations borrowed from other workings (mainly Taylors)so I bought a Taylors Ritual to see the differences from Emulation at source.
But it's all only minor although the floor work is more involved. Visiting is the best way to see and enjoy the variations.

Lazza is exactly right. Visit elsewhere and don't be shy to ask your specific question
( the answer may be that's the way we always have done it here) but then ask why and how it came about
a "book" answer is always out of context.
My answer is biased as visiting is expected in Scotland and guests just arrive
rather than needing invitations and getting on dining lists
so If you don't get response you want Just come up here !!
Frat as always

Yes, visiting is the certainly the best way, as you can ask questions. However, visit a lot, because, as you know, there is much variation from meeting to meeting in the same lodge! (31)
