The time is 2:20 am and I've been home for about an hour and a half. I've just come from attending the conferral of the Fellowcraft Degree done by the Brothers of Anchor-Hilyard Lodge # 2, Prince Hall Affiliated, Jurisdiction of Minnesota. Brother Greg Michaels presided in the East and did a good job as the Master for this degree.
I was cast as the Senior Deacon and did the entire degree including the Middle Chamber or Staircase Lecture as it may be known to some. Now i would love to say that I did the entire MC (or SC) Lecture from memory but I didn't. I delivered what I could from memory and read the rest from our ritual book.
3 new Fellowcrafts were passed tonight and did an excellent job showing proficiency on the EA Degree. It was a real good experience and I was glad to be a part of it. I would encourage all Brothers to get out and visit other lodges if you haven't already done so. Worshipful Master, Quantrell Fields has done a good job with getting a core group of Brothers to instruct the newest Brothers during their degree cycle.
