My understanding is that there are some very large differences in degree work between the two. Would be an interesting discussion indeed. A buddy of mine (also a member of this forum) who took all his SR degrees here in TX recently moved to WA and was interested in travelling to seeing all the...

Pro tem is short for "pro tempore". Just a Latin phrase meaning "for the time being". A temporary appointment.

Yup. I just did a presentation on Marks tonight in Chapter. Asked how many Companions had recorded their Marks. Less than half the hands went up. Shame!!
