A Warm welcome to the home of Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests and Order of Holy Wisdom in Kent.
This delightful Christian order is open to all subscribing members of a Masonic Lodge, who must also be in the Royal Arch and also be a member of a Knights Templar Preceptory.
The Orders in its modern form did not set out to be deliberately exclusive, but the thirty one Appendant Degrees each have their own ceremonial working and it was determined,
by our Founders, that a Mason needed to be of a certain standing and qualification within Freemasonry to comprehend and appreciate these especial degrees.
The recently reintroduced ceremony of the Order of Holy Wisdom differs from the Appendant Degrees in that there is a specific question/requirement in the ritual
regarding membership of the Knight Templar Priests. This ceremony was worked in the 18th century, but it required a lot of costly equipment and at least two rooms
for the ceremony to take place. The new abridged ritual maintains the spirit of the original whilst eliminating much of the cost involved.
