Hello Brethren,
I wanting to know everyone's views of appendant bodies. My Lodge of a fine mix of Scottish Rite, York Rite, Shrine, Eastern Star members; but there is a small (very small) number of Brothers that are Blue Lodge only, and they won't shy away from telling you their views of the appendant bodies. When my Dad was raised he told to join the Commandary, but didn't when his teacher said "They only want you so they can keep their charter and fund their activities." With that in mind, Dad never join an appendant body. I was told a pretty much the same thing by a Brother, who shared his opinion on why he is Blue Lodge only. All I've heard is "time and money" when the subject o of appendant bodies come up. What are y'alls view of appendant bodies? If the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason is the highest degree, why join the other Orders? I myself want to join the local Chapter & Council, but still torn if I should or shouldn't.
