Sovereign Master, Allied Masonic Degrees, Cavite Council No. 506, USA

 

Elected  Sovereign Master for the ensuing year 2022 of Cavite Council No. 506, Allied Masonic Degrees during the ingathering on December 8, 2021 at Mt. Mainam Temple, naic cavite.

The Allied Masonic Degrees (AMD) are a series of Masonic degrees conferred by Councils of the Allied Masonic Degrees. The Allied Masonic Degrees form an appendant order of Freemasonry that exists in some Masonic jurisdictions; its degrees are conferred only by invitation. Councils of the Allied Masonic Degrees exist in Great Britain, the United States, Canada, France, Australia, and Congo, and their members also educate one another by presenting research papers on Freemasonry.

In the United States of America, a national Grand Council charters local councils, which confer their degrees on selected Royal Arch Masons. Most councils are limited to twenty-seven members, but the Council of the Nine Muses is limited to nine authors (the new Sovereign Master must read a new essay), and the Grand Master's Council has no limit, either numerically or geographically.^[5][6]

The officers of a Council utilize many of the same titles as the officers of a Masonic lodge, with the presiding officer being denominated 'Sovereign Master." The Councils are given wide discretion as to choose how frequently they meet and what programs to pursue. Generally speaking, Councils study or discuss Freemasonry in some way at each meeting. The Grand Council has created some internal honors, the most notable being "Knight Grand Cross".

The degrees conferred in the United States are:

• Royal Ark Mariner
• Order of the Secret Monitor
  • Brotherhood of David and Jonathan: Induction
  • Brotherhood of David and Jonathan: Admission of a Prince
