Notes:
The three degrees of Craft or Blue
Lodge Freemasonry are those of:
1. Entered Apprentice – the degree of an initiate, which makes one a
Freemason;
2. Fellow Craft – an intermediate degree, involved with learning;
3. Master Mason – the "third degree", a necessity for participation in
most aspects of Masonry.
Officers of the Masonic Lodges
1. Worshipful Master - the senior officer of a Masonic Lodge is the
Master, he directs the lodge business and presides over ritual and
ceremonies. At the conclusion of his term of office, he becomes known as
Past Master.
2. Senior Warden is the second of the three principal officers of a
lodge, and is the Worshipful Master's principal deputy. In many lodges
it is presumed that the Senior Warden will become the next Worshipful
Master.
3. Junior Warden is charged with the supervision of the Lodge while it
is in recess for meals or other social purposes.
4. Treasurer is the officer who keeps the accounts, collects annual dues
from the members, pays bills, and forwards annual dues to the Grand
Lodge. It is common for the Treasurer to be an experienced Past Master
5. Senior Deacon conducts candidates around the Lodge and speaks for
them during certain ceremonies, assists the Worshipful Master as needed
6. Junior Deacon assists the Senior Warden
7. The Tyler guards the door (from the outside), and ensures that only
those who are duly qualified gain entry into the lodge meeting
~source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonic_Lodge_Officers
A lodge is a group of Masons, meeting in a specific location at
regularly scheduled times. Many lodges meet in a building called the
Masonic Hall. The state Grand Lodge grants charters (permissions) to the
Subordinate Lodges within that state. The subordinate lodges then
operate under the bylaws and regulations of the Grand Lodge.
