Grand Royal Arch Chapter
Supreme Order of the Holy Royal Arch


The degrees controlled by the Grand Royal Arch Chapter are:


- Royal Ark Mariner,
- Select Master, Royal Master, Most Excellent Master and Super Excellent Master,
- Royal Arch including the Ceremony of the Veils and the Inner Workings of Royal Arch Freemasonry as practised in the Crypt of York Minster since Antients times.

THE HOLY ROYAL ARCH

The Holy Royal Arch or Chapter as it is commonly known.
The qualification for joining Chapter is that of being a Master Mason for a minimum of 4 weeks.

The meeting are called Convocations, and the ceremony is called The ceremony of Exaltation.
The degree deals with the rebuilding of the second Temple at Jerusalem and sets out to restore the genuine secrets of a Master Mason.
This is accomplished by workmen who make a monumentus discovery during their labours and from this a most interesting and illuminating explanation of the nature of God is conveyed.
The Regalia of the Order is an Apron, Sash and Jewel.

ROYAL AND SELECT MASTERS

The Degree of Royal and Select Masters is also known as Cryptic Masonry as it deals with Secret Vaults built beneath The Temple at Jerusalem.
The qualification for joining is that of being a Mark Master Mason and a Royal Arch Mason.

The meetings are held in a Council. There are 4 Ceremonies: - Select Master,
Royal Master, Most Excellent Master & Super-Excellent Master.

SELECT MASTER

The Select Master Degree relates how a well-known mason employed by King Solomon accidentally intrudes on a meeting of The Three Grand Masters held in a secret vault beneath the Temple and the consequence of his intrusion.

ROYAL MASTER

The Royal Master Degree is set in a time just prior to the completion and dedication of the first Temple and refers to a certain Fellowcraft making diligent enquiry of Hiram Abiff as to when he might receive the secrets of a Master Mason.
The subsequent disquisition by our Grand master is one of the most enthralling pieces of ritual in Freemasonry.

MOST EXCELLENT MASTER

The Most Excellent Master Degree deals with the completion and dedication of the First Temple.

SUPER-EXCELLENT MASTER

The Super-Excellent Master Degree is about the first Temple down to the time of its imminent destruction by the troops of Nebuchadnezzer.
Therefor this Order fills the gap between Mark and Chapter and so completing the Solomonic Degrees.
The regalia of the order is a triangular Apron and Jewel.

ROYAL ARK MARINERS

Royal Ark Mariners or RAM as it is known.
The meetings are held in a Lodge and the qualification for joining is that of being a Mark Master Mason.
The ceremony is called The ceremony of Elevation.
The Degree deals with the period of Noah, his family and the deluge.
The Worshipful Commander represents Noah and the two wardens his two sons Japheth and Shem.
An interesting facet of this degree is the positioning of the two wardens as in an old Craft Lodge, both in the West.
The regalia is an Apron and Jewel.

CHEVALIERS BIENFAISANT DE LA CITE SAINTE

Chevaliers Bienfaisant de la Cite Sainte or CBCS, the English translation is Knights Beneficent of the Holy City.
The CBCS is the oldest Order connected with Freemasonry, which has had a continuous existence.
The qualification for membership is that of Knights Templar and at least one year as a Master Mason!

The Grades of the Order are:
Scottish Master of St. Andrew.
Perfect Master of St. Andrew.
Squire Novice.
Knight Beneficent of the Holy City.

Scottish Master of St. Andrew: This grade makes reference to the Divine tradition of the Temple of Solomon and the presence of the Holy Shekinah. It also infers that while the first Temple was laid to ruins there still remained within the sacred knowledge of the God of Israel.
Perfect Master of St. Andrew: Here the legend of the second temple is developed, exhorting the true seeker to penetrate the tomb of Hiram in search of the lost word.

Squire Novice: This grade recounts a legend that at the dawn of the Christian era, wise sages dwelling within the Holy City were converted to Christianity by St Mark.

Knight Beneficent of the Holy City: In the final grade it is revealed to the Novice that at the Zenith of ancient Egyptian civilisation a religious dogma existed, which was identical with that of Christianity.

Further more there is the Ceremonies of Profess Knight and Grand Professed Knight.
