New Banners but the same message

Brethren & Companions will likely notice new pullup banners appearing in the larger Masonic centres over the next few months. In many ways these banners reiterate the message of 1813 contained in the preliminary declaration in the Book of Constitutions that pure Antient Freemasonry consists of three degrees and no more, viz., those of the Entered Apprentice, the Fellow Craft, and the Master Mason, including the Supreme Order of the Royal Arch. The new banners take into account and acknowledge ‘Building Together’ which has brought together and harmonised both the Membership Pathway in the Craft and Archway in the Royal Arch. The older banners are not being discarded but will be relocated to other Masonic Centres in the Province in due course. The photograph shows the Deputy Grand Superintendent and the Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies of the Royal Arch alongside one of the newly placed banners at Stroud Masonic Hall after the meeting of Sherborne Royal Arch Chapter on Tuesday 22nd September 2026.
