st john whiteinch No 683
On Friday the 14th March I visited lodge St John Whiteinch No 683 Where I saw a unusual 3rd degree by members of an English lodge from south shields . It was very different and started in the first degree where the candidate was tested before they moved to the second where the candidate was again tested and given the password for the 3rd degree. In the 3rd degree the candidate was placed in the centre of the carpet where almost everything is done. it was a lot quicker than our version and informative to all who watched it
Although it was different I did enjoy it and learned a few things I did not stay for the harmony but did invite the master and a few others to the arch meeting on the 25th
