The
primary purpose of this Passport is to encourage you to experience
all the Degrees presented by the Valley of Orlando. Through the
lessons of these Degrees, we look to the past for the great and
immovable truths of the ages. At the same time, we are reminded that
these truths are not locked into the past, but rather must serve to
guide us as we move into the unknown future.
When you witness a
Degree in your Valley, or any other Valley for that matter, the
Valley Secretary or his designate will validate your Passport in the
appropriate block. Once you have seen each Degree at least once and
proper validation have been affixed, you may take this Passport to
the Valley Secretary who will then certify that you have seen
Degrees and submit your Passport for Certification. Upon which you
will receive recognition for your achievement.
Our Craft is ancient, but it's teachings are as modern as tomorrow,
as relevant as the great discoveries that await us around the next
corner.
At this moment in
time we call to renew our Masonic Vows, our commitment to our fellow
man and our faith in God.
We have witnesses
the power of Freemasonry through the actions and beliefs of those
who have preceded us. It is time for us to reach out to good men who
have yet to see the Light and show them the door of Freemasonry so
they, of their own free will and accord, may knock.
I look forward to
seeing you as we continue our journey through Masonry, Scottish Rite
Masonry in particular and this life.
