REPORT OF THE GRAND COMMANDER

September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Right Eminent Grand Captain

General, Right Eminent Department Commander, Past Grand

Commanders, Officers of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky

and Sir Knights,

First let me say how much I appreciate the opportunity

afforded me to serve as the Grand Commander of Kentucky. It

has been a very rewarding and memorable experience.

I want to tell you that the state of Templar Masonry in

Kentucky is improving. I would like to say that it is good or

fine, but the reality is that although strides have been made and

improvements have taken place, there is still much to be done.

However, the enthusiasm of the Sir Knights is very

encouraging. Knightings are up and quality of the Order

conferrals is good AND getting better.

I attribute much of this success to the support of the

Grand Master, Gary C. Rose and the other Grand Lodge officers

and of course his immediate predecessor, MW Timothy D.

Sanders. Their willingness to allow presentations during the

District meetings have gone a long way in letting the Master

Masons of Kentucky understand that their journey did not end

when they were raised but was only a part of their York Rite

Journey. A very important part, but still only a part. So thank

you Most Worshipful Sir.

But the support of our Grand Lodge is only a part of

the story. You Sir Knights need to take a bow as well. Support

and allowances might spark an interest, but you are the ones

that make things happen in our local Commanderies. You are

the “boots on the ground” Knights that is needed for any

Commandery to improve. Your willingness to go the extra mile

for Templar Masonry is what accounted for the many Knighting

that have taken place. I can’t express to you enough my deep

Page 20: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

16

appreciation for all you have done. Thank you seems so

inadequate but know that it is indeed sincere.

COMMANDERY VISITS

Sir Knights, several have mentioned that I failed to

visit their Commandery this year. For that I must apologize. My

health and the request to confer degree work in Lodges,

Chapters and to a lesser extend Councils caused me to re-

schedule several intended visits. My duties in performing

Masonic Funeral Rites to the dozen or so Lodges in my area

was another factor in my failure to make a visit to every

Commandery this year. But Sir Knights, that was never my

intent. Yes, I know that many of you judge the success or failure

of a grand presiding officer by the number of visits he makes.

But I think it is more important to go where I may be of the

most good. I wanted to make a difference, not just show up,

shake a few hands and say a few words, then hurry to the next

Body to do the same thing. I tried to attend those Bodies where

I thought I was needed as well as those special events where my

presence was of a benefit to Templar Masonry. Again, if you

are a member of one of the four, (4) Commanderies which I

failed to visit, and you felt slighted, I do apologize.

THANKS TO ALL

When one decides to pursue a grand line, you never

know whom your counterparts might be. Well let me tell you

that I really lucked out. I have been blessed to have served with

some truly fine gentlemen.

Our Most Worshipful Grand Master, Gary Rose has always

been supportive and accommodating to any of my requests. I

would like to thank him for making time to attend the Knighting

of Sir Knight Herman A. Schlageter of Louisville DeMolay

Commandery # 12. Herman’s failing health prevented him from

making the scheduled outdoor conferral and his Knighting took

place just 10 days prior to his death. But thanks to the Sir

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

17

Knights of Louisville DeMolay Commandery, he was a Knight

Templar at the time of his passing, having been Knighted by

our Most Worshipful Grand Master. Thank you, Most

Worshipful Sir.

I also want to recognize and thank our Most Excellent

Grand High Priest, Ron Ledford for his devotion to the craft. I

must admit that I had reservations as to what ME Companion

Ron would do as the Grand High Priest, but he showed himself

to be equal to the task. I ran into him on many occasions, and

he always represented Capitular Masonry in an exceptional

manner. Yes, he can be a little crazy at times, and always had a

wild story to tell. But when he was filling his role as the Grand

High Priest, he was all business. I was truly impressed with your

commitment to the craft. Thanks Ron.

And to the last of the elected presiding officers but

certainly not the least, Most Illustrious Grand Master Charles

Durham, or Charlie as I always referred to him, (and hope it was

acceptable). Never have I encountered another Mason as

dedicated and committed to doing the job expected of him as

our Most Illustrious Companion Charlie. He has been a true

gentleman at all times. His energy was unsurpassed. I feel

blessed to have had the opportunity to serve at the same time as

he. He made us all better by his leadership and love for

Freemasonry in general and Cryptic Masonry in particular. You

sir at a true asset to the craft of Kentucky. I will always cherish

these times when I was privileged to serve alongside of you.

Thank you, dear friend.

To my appointed officers, Inspector General and

Division Commanders and Personal Aides. To say that you

exceeded my expectations would seem to say that I didn’t

expect much from you, or that I had set the bar very low.

Nothing could be further from the truth. You represented the

Grand Commandery of Kentucky in the very best manner one

might imagine. I truly felt confident in your abilities and

dedication. Thank you.

Page 22: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

18

To my fellow elected officers. Thank you for covering for me

on those occasions when we were not together. I never doubted

your commitment to the Sir Knights and to the Commanderies

of Kentucky. We can expect even better things from you as you

advance through the line. Thank you.

To our Grand Recorder, R.E. Past Grand Commander

Jim King and his office staff. Thanks for keeping me on track.

Your dedication to the Fraters of Kentucky is without equal. It

is difficult to truly appreciate your service until one has served

and relied upon you for all the little things. To say this year

would have been a much more difficult without your assistance

is an understatement. Thanks Jim.

STATE OF OUR COMMANDERIES

As I had indicated earlier, the state of the

Commanderies is improving. There are several stories that can

be told of Commanderies struggling against the odds and

making positive things happen. Yes, we lost one Commandery

to consolidation, when Whitesburg consolidated with Jenkins

Commandery. But this resulted in a stronger Body for all

concerned. And yes, we have four Commanderies that I must

recommend for probation due to not having a Knighting this

year, but they are the exceptions, not the rule. I can also talk to

you about Jefferson, Marion, Conrad Cates, Richmond and

Winchester as true success stories. I can tell you how the Sir

Knights of Paintsville has made significant strides in the past

four years to not only Knight several new Sir Knights each year

but has progressed in becoming capable of doing a great deal of

their own work. How Ashland has overcome some local

struggles to again be counted as a heathy and growing

Commandery. These along with several others that I haven’t

mentioned are the reasons I am confident that better things are

ahead of us. Thank you, Sir Knights, and keep working for

Templar Masonry.

SISTER JURISDICTIONS AND APPENDENT BODIES

One of the pure pleasures of a presiding officer is the

opportunity to visit and represent you at our sister Masonic

Bodies. I have the distinct pleasure of attending the Grand Court

of the Order of Amaranth in April, the Grand Assembly

Rainbow for Girls in June, the Annual Conclave of the Order of

DeMolay in July and it is my plan to attend the Grand Session

of the Order of Eastern Star in September. I also am pleased to

say that I had the opportunity to visit the Grand Commandery

of Ohio last October, the Grand Commandery of North Carolina

in March, the Grand Commandery of Indiana in April and the

Grand Commandery of Michigan in August. At each of these

sessions, I was received and accorded the most profound

respect and honor. I do appreciate their efforts in recognizing

your Grand Commander on your behalf. And although I have

already thanked them, but if you get the opportunity, please

thank them again, because they truly deserve it.

MAJOR EVENTS

I also want to touch on some of the major events that

took place this year. The Easter Trip to Washington D.C. was

again most enjoyable. Sir Knight Bill Ryan and Sir Knight

Michael Yount once again provided a wonderful trip for us to

enjoy. Their Saturday excursion to Gettysburg will always be

etched in my mind as a highlight of my term as your Grand

Commander. Sir Knights, if you haven’t made the Easter Trip,

it needs to be on your “bucket list”. And more often than just

once.

The East Central Department Meeting in Fort Wayne

was a great time to hear and experience the things that our

Grand Encampment is doing and planning for your future. I

have always enjoyed my time at these events and feel you will

as well. Remember that this meeting is open to all Sir Knights,

not just your elected officers. The leadership program that is

provided is worth several hundred dollars and is offered to you

Page 24: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

20

at no cost. You really need to go. Thanks to our Department

Commander Right Eminent Gerald Pugh for an outstanding

session.

The first ever, at least in Kentucky, of the Outdoor

Conferral of the Orders was a huge success. Sixteen new Sir

Knights were Knighted with the help of Sir Knights from

several Commanderies. And although modifications had to be

made just a few days prior to the event, and the work involved

was at times exhausting, I feel it was well worth the time and

effort. A special thanks to Sir Knight Kevin Miles for providing

his property, high on a knob in central Kentucky, for a

wonderful setting. Kevin worked extremely hard in preparing

the site, and things turned out perfect. And thanks go out to Sir

Knight John Johnson, Sir Knight Randolph Starks and our own

Department Commander Sir Knight Gerald Pugh for your

contribution. The success of this evening was due, in large part,

to the willingness of these Sir Knights to step up. Thank you so

very much.

The Flag Ceremony held for “Charlie” Company 2nd

Battalion 138th Field Artillery Christmas Breakfast. Sir

Knights, we were joined by our Most Worshipful Grand Master

who presented the flag through the Lines at the beginning of

this ceremony. It was very impressive. Thanks to all who took

the time to be with us that morning.

HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGE FUND RAISER

I am especially pleased that Jefferson Commandery,

under the leadership of Sir Knight Gregory A. Raque has

produced a Challenge Coin to sell to raise funds to send a

minister to on the Holy Land Pilgrimage. This is in addition to

the funds generated by the Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee

and the fifty cents, (.50) which is paid as a portion of your

assessments. Through the efforts of Sir Knight Raque, who not

only designed the coin, but raised the funds to purchase 300 of

Page 25: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

21

these coins, we will be able to contribute $3,000.00 to this

wonderful cause. Thanks Greg.

GENERAL ORDERS AND DISPENSATIONS

The General Orders that I issued, along with the

Dispensations granted are listed for your information and for

review by the Jurisprudence Committee. I assure you that each

was taken only after careful consideration of all the facts

relating to the matter at hand. I trust I acted in the best interests

of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky.

APPOINTMENTS OF REPRESENTATIVES

The recommendations for appointments to Grand

Commanderies for their Representatives near the Grand

Commandery of Kentucky are listed, as well as those

appointments that I approved for representatives to the Grand

Commandery of Kentucky living near their respective Grand

Commanderies. I am confident that these Sir Knights who have

been recommended will serve with honor and distinction.

PROBATIONS

Sadly, I must recommend that Lexington

Commandery # 1, and Shelby Commandery # 2, be placed on

probation for not having at least one Knighting this Templar

year. Newport Commandery # 13 and Covington Commandery

# 7 also did not have a Knighting during the 2018-2019 Templar

year, however both have rectified this by Knighting a new Sir

Knight in August. I would strongly encourage them arrange to

have these Knighting during the time period of the Templar

year. I encourage our elected officers to continue to assist these

Commanderies so that they can be removed from this probation.

VISITORS

I am especially pleased to be able to extend to our

visitors a most genuine Kentucky welcome. It is my hope that

Page 26: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

22

your visit here will be enjoyable and allow us to return the great

hospitality that I have received while visiting your respective

Grand Commanderies. It is my pleasure to recommend that

each of our visiting Grand Commanders, who have not already

received Honorary membership in the Grand Commandery of

Kentucky to receive this Honor and Distinction today. Thank

you for taking the time to be with us.

NECROLOGY

The Grand Commandery of Kentucky was saddened

to have suffered the loss of ___ Sir Knights during this Templar

year. While all will be missed, I want to point out the great loss

we suffered with the death of Most Eminent Past Grand Master

of the Grand Encampment and Right Eminent Past Grand

Commander of Kentucky Donald Hinslea Smith in April 2019.

He, along with Past Grand High Priests Norman Harper and

Gene Atkins and Most Illustrious Past Grand Master, John D.

Jacobs were eulogized last evening during our Devotion

Service by our Grand Prelate, and will again be mentioned in

our Necrology Report. While we rejoice that all of these Fraters

have been welcomed and received in the immediate presence of

our Blessed Redeemer, we struggle with our personal loss as

they will no longer be among us.

AWARDS

This Templar year the awards that we provide for

those who are most deserving was handled a little differently.

While I researched the awards we present, I discovered that our

Grand Constitution does not expressly spells out how these

awards will be handled. Yes, I’m aware that the Constitution of

the Grand Encampment spells out the requirements of the

Knight Templar Cross of Honor, but several of our Past Grand

Commanders believed that this award was their selection to be

given to whom they alone wanted to receive it. This isn’t correct

as this is awarded by the Grand Master of the Grand

Page 27: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

23

Encampment for service over and above that which is expected

of a Sir Knight. This should the most deserving of the many Sir

Knights of our jurisdiction who warrant recognition.

Legislation has been presented to clarify this and to address the

awarding of the Conrad Cates Award. I also wanted my Awards

Committee to review all of these recommendations and select

the one most deserving, which they then would forward to me

for my approval. This they have done, and the Conrad Cates

Award will be presented later today, and the Knight Templar

Cross of Honor will be announced at our Grand Banquet. Both

of these recipients are truly deserving, and I was pleased to add

my approval to the Committees’ recommendations. I have also

included a new award in this legislation to allow the Grand

Commander to make personal awards to a limited number of

those Sir Knights who he feels are deserving of recognition. I

hope it receives your support. And if it does, these Sir Knights

will be recognized later this morning.

KNIGHT TEMPLAR MAGAZINE

The Knight Templar Magazine Supplement has for

many years been edited by Sir Knight J.B. Hitt, II.

Unfortunately, due to health issues, Sir Knight Hitt decided in

November that it was in the best interest of you, the Sir Knights

of Kentucky, to step down. I want to thank him for his tireless

efforts over the many years he served in this position. And while

I was starting to panic over who to replace him with, Sir Knight

J.B. expertly recognized the ability of Sir Knight Randall

Partin, Past Grand Commander of Kentucky to assume this

position. Sir Knight Randall graciously accepted the challenge

and has proved that Sir Knight J.B. once again served the

Fraters of Kentucky well. J. B. while we will miss your

editorials, Randall’s efforts these past several months has

proven your replacement will carry on in the excellent tradition

you helped establish. Thanks to each of you.

RECOMMENDATIONS

I would recommend that the Permanent Fund

Committee take a more active role in the management of our

investments. Although the Permanent Fund has done well,

prudent diversification of our assets is essential to providing

good returns, while managing our risks. We must remember

that these our YOUR funds Sir Knights, and our Permanent

Fund Committee are only the stewards acting on your behalf.

I would further recommend that we continue to

promote the Easter Sunrise Trip to our nation’s capital. This has

become an important part of our heritage and we must continue

encourage participation.

I would also recommend that we encourage Commanderies to

nominate deserving Sir Knights for the awards we are

available. In doing so, we will prevent any future

misunderstanding of who can be nominated and who it is that

actually makes the decision on each award.

And lastly I would recommend that we continue to

work with the Grand Chapter, Grand Council and our Grand

Lodge to promote unity among the Bodies of a combined York

Rite.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, allow me to thank the Sir Knights of

Marion Commandery and those of Jefferson Commandery for

their support during these past four years. You will never truly

know how much I appreciate your support and words of

encouragement as I have attempted to serve the Sir Knights of

Kentucky.

Thanks to the Sir Knights who arranged the combined

reception for Most Excellent Companion Ron Ledford, Most

Illustrious Companion Charles Durham and me. Sir Knight

Tom Brown, you really outdid yourself. Thank you!

And lastly to my wife Willetta. You have supported me as I’ve

traveled these past years. And done so mostly without

complaint. You have stayed up late waiting for me to return

home, accompanied me on my several out of state visits, and

worked extremely hard in preparing for the hospitality room

and our visiting guests. You have been both my harshest critic

and most ardent supporter. I can’t tell you enough how much

this support has meant. I love you and hope to be able to make

up to you for the many things you have given up on my behalf.

Courteously,

J. William Riggs, KCT

Grand Commander

I am happy to report that due to the efforts of grand

Cmdr. Riggs and the Sir Knights of Kentucky we have been

able to reduce our losses and have had 112 Knighting’s this

year. The statistical portion of this report will better explain the

membership statistics. The Sir Knights of Kentucky are to be

congratulated for their efforts this year in getting petitions for

membership and for the conferrals across the state creating new

Sir Knights.

Without the assistance of the recorders across the

Commonwealth of Kentucky it would be impossible to operate

the office and we wish to thank them for their hard work and

dedication throughout this year.

Noel and myself are honored to have been able to serve the

grand commandery for another year and wish to thank the craft

for allowing us to do so.

Membership

This year we have again seen a loss (-180) in

membership our hope is as always that we will have an increase

in the coming years.

LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers and Sir

Knights of the Grand Commandery, Knights Templar of

Kentucky:

This is the Checking Account information for the General Fund

of the Grand Commandery:

Balance on hand, July 1, 2018 $45,911.67

Uncleared items $1,146.78

Balance on hand, June 30, 2019 $44,320.11

The Grand Recorder, Jim King, and his Secretary, Noel King,

continue to do an excellent job in monitoring expenses. In

addition, the Grand Officers have lived within the proposed

budget for the entire year. We have now achieved a long-time

goal of Grand Recorders and Grand Treasurers and can pay

current expenses from current income.

Part of our improved position is the reduction in expense we’ve

enjoyed for the Grand Sessions. Opening the joint account for

expenses which are common to Chapter, Council, and

Commandery seven years ago has enabled us to have a more

accurate distribution of these expenses, as opposed to the

former way in which we used a percentage for each body.

We paid $1230.50 for the Holy Land Pilgrimage. In addition,

though expense money from the Permanent Fund was

authorized last September, no withdrawal was necessary.

Any questions may be directed to me.

Courteously

submitted,

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O

To: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Eminent Grand

Officers, Right Eminent Past Grand Commanders and members

of the Constituent Commanderies of the Grand Commandery

Knights Templar of Kentucky.

This year we held one school of instruction for

Division Commanders and anyone who wanted to attend. It was

well attended and from several comments, well received.

We received inspection reports from all

Commanderies. Out of the 30 Commanderies inspected, all 30

participated in a full form opening although 3 did not hold

inspection and 7 did not pass-in-review.

The scores ranged from 483 to 119. A little down from the

previous year. The top 10 Commanderies were:

Ryan #17 Morehead #53

Williamsburg #50 Paintsville #48

Louisville-DeMolay #12 Franklin #44

Jackson #47 Pikeville #45

Covington #7 Marion #24

I offer my sincere thanks to the Division Commanders

who performed their duties well. Several were in this position

for the first time and a couple accepted the position at the last

minute.

I think that we should remember that the Inspection is

a tool for instruction and a gauge of where we are and where we

can improve. Although there is a trophy for the highest score,

let us not get so wrapped up in achieving score, but use the

inspection to help us grow in the tactics and ritual of our Order.

REPORT OF THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION

COMMITTEE

September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.

To: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Eminent Grand

Officers, Right Eminent Past Grand Commanders and members

of the Constituent Commanderies of the Grand Commandery

Knights Templar of Kentucky.

Your Committee of the Education Foundation

received only one request for a scholarship this year. The

application was received from Jonah T. Wilbanks. He is a

student of Biblical Counseling at Boyce College at Southern

Seminary.

After careful review of his application and college transcript,

the Committee voted to approve a scholarship in the amount of

$2000.00. A check for that amount has been mailed to the

school’s director of student administration. A copy of Mr.

Wilbanks application and college transcript are on file in the

Grand Recorder’s office.

The Committee has also voted to recommend that our

funds be invested with the Grand Encampment program.

Currently we have to invest the funds, pay for an audit of those

funds each year and the return is not always the greatest. The

Grand Encampment keeps a separate accounting of our funds

but invests them with all of the other participating Grand

Commanderies providing a higher return on our investment.

The members of this committee thank the Grand

Commander for allowing us to serve the Grand Commandery

in this capacity.

REPORT OF THE WORK COMMITTEE

September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O.

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers, and Sir

Knights of The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of

Kentucky:

I am pleased to report that the state of Ritual Work

within the jurisdiction of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky

is good. One-day festivals were held in almost every region of

the state at some point during the year, and many of our

commanderies conferred the work in-house. In all, one hundred

twelve new knights were dubbed in the fiscal year ending June

30, with twenty-four of our commanderies gaining new

members. Congratulations especially to those commanderies

who knighted new members in double digits - Paintsville with

nineteen; Jenkins with thirteen and Williamsburg with eleven.

We would also commend those of our commanderies who hold

an annual scheduled festival: Paintsville Glasgow, DeMolay,

and Paducah. We have a number of others who confer the work

as candidates are available. I am also pleased to report that more

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

54

commanderies are beginning to confer their own work, at least

in part. As I have traveled this year, it has been good to see

numerous knights stepping into and performing parts that were

previously filled spur-of-the-moment. It is also good to see

some once struggling commanderies revitalized and becoming

active again.

I have not seen inspection results for the year so I

cannot factually report on the state of our tactical work. From

my observations during the year, I believe the work continues

to improve.

Sir knights, our work, both ritual and tactics, is a large part of

the glue which holds us together. It is meaningful and beautiful,

and worth doing well. Doing work well attracts new members

and keeps the old ones. Make the commitment this year to do

good work, ‘that they may see your good works, and glorify our

Father.’

all that helped, played, sponsored a hole, donated time and had

a part in making this day a success. A special thank you to the

Ryan Commandery members for all their help. We had the

REPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

September 16, 2019 A.D. 901 A.O

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers, and Sir

Knights of The Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of

Kentucky:

I would first like to thank the members of this

committee for their untiring efforts on behalf of the Masonic

fraternity. They collectively and individually have devoted

untold hours and traveled untold miles in pursuit of this

objective. To our Most Worshipful Grand Master, Sir Knight

Gary C. Rose in particular, for his untiring promotion of the

fraternity, including the appendant bodies, and his

encouragement of the appendant bodies to make presentations

at the District Meetings of the Blue Lodge, we owe a resounding

‘Thank You’. We commend our Grand Commander for his

efforts in ‘thinking outside the box’ with the outdoor conferral

of the Orders, and for his participation in a number of other

conferrals across the state.

In looking at our membership numbers over the past

year, we have again suffered a loss. As of the end of the Fiscal

Year, June 30, we had a net loss of 85 members, making our

total membership 2,225. The following is a brief evaluation.

The Positive One, this is one of the smallest losses to

occur in a number of years; two, our knightings have again

exceeded our deaths – (112 knighted and 71 deaths); and three,

this is the first time since 2010 that the number knighted has

exceeded the number of suspensions.

We would commend Paintsville No. 48 for knighting

nineteen (19) new members during this past fiscal year,

Williamsburg No. 50 for knighting eleven (11) of their own and

as many more, plus for surrounding commanderies, and Jenkins

No. 54 for knighting thirteen (13). In all, twenty-four (24)

commanderies took in new members during the past fiscal year

and are all to be commended for their efforts.

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

62

In addition, we would commend three commanderies,

Franklin No. 44, Somerset No. 31, and Williamsburg No. 50

whose membership has actually increased over what it was 5

years ago. Cynthiana No. 16, Ryan No. 17, Richmond No. 19,

Marion No. 24, Glasgow No. 36, and Mayfield No. 49 show a

membership loss of 10 or less during the same time span.

Paintsville No. 48 has been, by far the most active commandery

during that 5-year time period, knighting sixty-seven (67).

The Negative One, Suspensions and Demits continue

to plague us. During the fiscal year just ended, we knighted 112,

suspended 105 and demitted 83. Over the five-year period

previously referenced, we suspended 567, demitted 354, and

lost 339 to death. During that same period, we knighted 441. In

the parlance of the church, they’re going out the back door

faster than we can get them in the front. We are keeping ahead

of the losses due to death, but we’re not keeping up with the

ones walking away.

Two, knightings have stagnated. Not since 2010 have

we exceeded 200 in a year, and the average number of new

knights per year, over the last seven years has been less than

100. Thirteen commanderies report fewer than 10 knightings

total over the past 5 years; eight of those report 5 or fewer.

Conclusions and Recommendations For a number of

years, the emphasis has been on increasing our membership,

primarily by increasing the number of new members. Even a

brief perusal of the data shows that our major problem lies in

our suspensions and demits. The number we lose to death is

beyond our control, and statewide, we knight, on average,

roughly 25 more than we lose to death. On the other hand, over

the last seven years, on average, our total losses are just about

double our total gains.

A certain part of the problem, particularly in Eastern

Kentucky, has been economic. Much of the economy has been

based on mining in that region, and the loss of jobs in the mining

Page 67: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

63

industry in recent years has dramatically affected the entire

region, and our membership. Six of the top ten commanderies

by number of suspensions are from east of I-75. Other factors

also come into play, of course, and it should be noted that seven

of the top ten commanderies by number of knightings are from

the same region. It should also be noted that a number appear

on both lists. Kudos to the guys who are working so hard to

keep things going.

We can turn around the decline in membership. We

must, of course, continue our efforts to recruit new members,

but to succeed, we must gain control of our suspensions and

demits. How? I propose the following as a start:

• Clearly define our purpose, a reason why

someone should want to be, and remain, a Knight Templar.

Promote that purpose. Every incoming Grand Commander has

a program, a plan for ‘his year’. Those plans are important, but

should, year in and year out, promote and support our core

purpose. Let our members, our candidates, see that we have a

clearly defined, valued reason for existence that they can be a

part of.

• Do impressive ritual. Every commandery

needs to be able to confer the Orders, and to confer them well.

Half-hearted, poorly read and stumbled through ritual and

tactics gives candidates and members the impression that we

don’t really care about the organization and that we are just

going through the motions. There are a number of knights who

are willing to travel and confer the Orders, and I have been

privileged to observe some very good ones, but every

commandery should have a goal of doing their own. (And it is

more important that the work be done, even poorly, than to

make candidates wait.) We have commanderies working

toward this goal, and their commanderies are turning around.

• Do impressive philanthropy. We have some

of the best philanthropies around. Support them. Promote them.

Look for opportunities to be an active part of the local

Page 68: Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky...Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kentucky Grand Officers 2018-2019 J. William Riggs (24) Grand Commander 1044 Eagle Pass, Bardstown

2019 Proceedings of Grand Commandery of Kentucky

64

community. Working together on community projects gives

visibility to the organization and builds camaraderie within the

organization.

• Continue to train our Division Commanders.

These men can become the core of a new day in Kentucky; well

trained, knowledgeable knights who share their training with

the commanderies in their jurisdictions.

Sir knights, we can turn around our decline in

membership. It will take a group effort to make it happen. This

committee can’t do it, nor can any single Grand Commander. It

will take the organization as a whole, it will take individual

commanderies turning themselves around. As a Grand

Commandery, we must better provide the tools and the

programs to provide a basis for long term, stable growth. I trust

that these thoughts may provide some impetus for positive

changes in that direction.

Courteously submitted,

Randall Partin, PGC, KTCH, KCT

Chairman, Membership Committee

General Order No. 1

To: The Officers and Sir Knights of the Grand and Constituent

Commanderies of Knights Templar of Kentucky:

To all Sir Knights I would like to welcome you to

Grand Sessions this year. I want to take this opportunity to

thank all o the people that have help me the past three years. I

could not have done this alone.

The Past Grand Commanders have put programs in place

that have helped the Commandery across The Commonwealth

grow. I plan on continuing with their efforts and do what I can

to help improve on them. I will continue to work closely with

Grand Lodge and hope to introduce the York Rite to as many

Symbolic Lodge Members as possible.

During inspections, Commanderies are required to open

in full form. I know this is hard sometimes, but at least try and

do your best. You will have new Sir Knights during these

inspections help them so that in years to com they can help the

ones to that succeed them. In order to strengthen this Grand

Commandery we must look to our future and new members are

that future. Showing them, we have an interest in the York Rite

is the only way we can get new strong member. Mentoring these

new Sir Knights will pave the way to a solid path for the

Commandery.

74

In closing thank you for the honor to serve as Grand

Commander this year, I will do my best to make this a

productive year. If there is anything, I can do to be of assistance

to you or any Commandery please let me know. May God

guide, guard and protect you in your travels. Let us all keep

Jesus in our hearts.
