A Message from the Inspector General

    V\Ill\Bro Roy D’Archambaud, 33°

 

 

I welcome all readers to the website of the District of Berkshire, Ancient and Accepted Rite for England and Wales and its Districts and Chapters Overseas.  Membership of this Order is one of the most inspirational and satisfying experiences that a Freemason can follow. The spiritual meaning of the ritual and the mode of life it teaches us to follow places a responsibility on its members but gives great satisfaction to those who are obedient to its precepts.

 

I hope that the few pages of this website will inspire those Freemasons who have not, as yet, sought membership in our Order, but who possess the necessary qualifications and beliefs, to consider doing so. To any non-Masonic readers I especially welcome you to this site, as well as those sites to which we are linked, in the hope that you will be able to realise some of the challenges which Freemasons face in trying to live their lives according to what is taught in the various Orders.

 

I have had the privilege of being the leader of the District since March 2007. During that time I have come to realise just how much this Order means to the members and of their desire to share the Christian teaching it espouses with other Freemasons. Any qualified person joining one of our Chapters is assured of a very warm welcome from the existing member as well as a rewarding and compelling set of new values to aspire to.
