Tuesday the 19th of March, at 7:30 o’clock pm, the Portland Valley Scottish Rite will confer the 31st Degree of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America, “Inspector Inquisitor”.
All Scottish Rite Members of the 30th° 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.
This Degree takes place in the Egyptian Court of the Dead and it is one of the most elaborate stage settings we have in the Temple’s collection.
The Duties of the Degree are; “Judge yourself in the same light as you judge others, consider both actions and motives.”
The Lessons of the Degree are; “The good man is able to portray himself and his actions positively and not simply assert the absence of wrong in his life. Justice and Mercy are two opposites which unite in the great harmony of equity. To aim at the best but be content with the best possible is true wisdom.”
