Introduction



The membership of the The Order of the Temple is by invitation only. To qualify for membership of this branch of the Order you have to be a subscribing member of a Craft Lodge for a minimum of five years and two years of a Royal Arch Chapter.

A candidate is not asked if he wishes to join this branch until after he has been nominated and the subsequent ballot has been successfully completed.

You will also find additional papers and articles in the above section entitled "Masonic Literature".
