Summary

This book draws together a number of different topics relating to Masonic conduct and provides a comprehensive guide to Masonic behaviour and practice. Topics covered include conduct and issues inside, and outside the Lodge, such as dress, regalia, membership, voting and elections, precedence, seating, saluting, general procedures, visiting behaviour (and difficulties), administrative matters and etiquette at dinner. The book also addresses topics of importance to Masons outside away from the Lodge, such as correspondence, ties and other Masonic wear, and openness.

Author Biography

Graham Redman was born in Bedford in 1949 and has lived in the surrounding villages all his life. He was made a Mason in his old school Lodge at the age of 24. In November 1987, he joined the staff of the Grand Secretary and has been Assistant Grand Secretary (and Assistant Grand. Scribe E) since April 1988. In the course of his duties he has acquired a compendious knowledge-and understanding-of the Book of Constitutions, which is probably unequalled at present in the English Constitution.
