Tuesday the 20th of November, at 7:30 o’clock pm, the Portland Valley Scottish Rite will confer the 27th Degree of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, “Knight of the Sun, or Prince Adept”.
All Scottish Rite Members of the 26th° or higher are welcome to attend. Visiting Brethren will need current dues card showing membership in the Scottish Rite. Attendance is exclusively for members of the Scottish Rite, as with all of our events, this is not open to the public.
The Duties of the Degree are; “Be a lover of wisdom. Be faithful to the promises you made within Masonry.”
The Lessons of the Degree are; “Nature reveals a power and wisdom and continually points to God. The visible is the manifestation of the invisible. In the universe two opposite forces provide balance. There is no death, only change. The moral code of Masonry is more extensive than that of philosophy.”
