Why You Should Join the Holy Royal Arch to Further Your Masonic Journey
A deep feeling of purpose, friendship, and personal development characterise a Freemason's path. Many newly Raised Masons seek to advance their Masonic education and experience after completing the three Craft degrees and becoming Masters. Joining the Holy Royal Arch, also known as the Royal Arch Masonry or Chapter Masonry, is one popular way to do this. This blog post will examine the benefits of Master Masons joining the Holy Royal Arch as a rewarding next step.
Benefits of Joining the Holy Royal Arch
Finishing your Masonic education - The journey that starts in the Craft Lodge is thought to naturally continue onto the Holy Royal Arch. The Royal Arch degree, in the opinion of many Masonic scholars and practitioners, provides a greater understanding of Freemasonry's tenets and beliefs than the other three degrees. You can better understand the Masonic teachings and finish your journey through "pure, ancient Freemasonry" by joining the Holy Royal Arch.
Researching Masonic Symbolism and History More Thoroughly - Deeper exploration of Freemasonry's elaborate symbolism and past is possible through Royal Arch Masonry. Ancient customs are reflected in the ceremonies and rituals of the Holy Royal Arch, which provide additional insights into the Masonic mysteries. You can enhance your understanding of the Craft and your connection to its ancestors by taking part in these rites.
Increasing Your Masonic Friends and Network - By connecting with the Holy Royal Arch, you can develop new friendships and solidify current ones with a larger community of Freemasons. Since the Royal Arch is technically separate from your Craft Lodge, you could join a different Chapter to expand your network of masonic friends.
Accepting New Leadership Possibilities and Duties - You will have the chance to explore new roles, offices and duties as a Royal Arch Mason. You can develop and improve your leadership skills while also helping the organisation and its members by serving as an official in a Royal Arch Chapter. Taking on these new duties (which differ quite a bit from Craft Offices) can be enjoyable and rewarding since it gives you the chance to have a positive impact on the Masonic community.
Aiding Community Projects and Charitable Causes - The Holy Royal Arch is committed to philanthropy and community service, just as Craft Freemasonry. As a Royal Arch Mason, you have the opportunity to support programmes that enhance the lives of others and give to a variety of charitable causes. You can deepen your dedication to the fundamental principles of Freemasonry—brotherly love, relief, and truth—and change the world by joining the Holy Royal Arch.
For Master Masons seeking to learn more about Freemasonry, grow their network, and take on new challenges, the Holy Royal Arch offers a rewarding path. By becoming a member of this highly esteemed body, you can advance personally while also helping the Masonic community and embracing the rich symbolism and history of the Craft. Consider taking this next step in your Masonic path to gain access to the Holy Royal Arch's rich ideas and community.
