The Chapter of Rose Croix consists of the Historical and Religious Degrees of the Scottish Rite, which are the 15th through 18th Degrees. Below is a brief description of these Degrees: |
|
15th Degree -
Knight of the East or Sword.
This degree teaches the important lessons of loyalty to conviction and
devotion to right. 16th Degree -
Prince of Jerusalem.
This degree teaches loyalty to truth and fidelity to duty. 17th Degree -
Knight of the East and West.
The lessons of this degree are that loyalty to God is man's primary
allegiance, and the temporal governments not founded upon God and His
righteousness will inevitably fall. 18th Degree - Knight Rose Croix. The lessons taught in this degree are that man must have a new Temple in his heart where God is worshiped in spirit and in truth and that he must have a new law of love which all men everywhere may understand and practice. This degree affirms the broad principals of universality and tolerance. |
