** In each of the first three degrees of Freemasonry, the candidate expresses a desire for light. But once he has been raised, we tend to leave him to his own devices. Those true seekers will find the Royal Arch degrees to be the best “first step” on the path to more light in Masonry.

The six Royal Arch degrees are intimately related to the first three degrees in Masonry. They detail the story of the completion, dedication, destruction, and rebuilding of King Solomon's Temple including the recovery of the lost secrets.

The Royal Arch Degree completes the Blue Lodge Mason's basic instruction and prepares him for a lifetime of seeking light. In Virginia our ancient Constitution of Masonry (Chapter 3, Sec-tion 4, Number 7) states, “to exercise all degrees of the Ancient Craft, and consequently the Royal Arch.” This clearly shows the

intimate connection between the Blue Lodge and the Royal Arch from ancient times. For more information or to obtain a petition, please contact me at pjensen@hl57.com

If you have already taken the path in the Royal Arch but not yet

considered The Knights Templars, please ask me about this won-

derful Christian Masonic Organization!!!
