The 1834 Chapter of Promulgation & The Long Ride Home
To standardize the ritual, a Chapter of Promulgation was formed in 1835. They de-Christianised the ritual and officially opened the Order to all Master Masons. But there was a catch: they strictly refused to print it. Companions had to watch the demonstration in London and frantically try to memorize the exact wording on their multi-day horse-and-carriage journeys back home!

Forty brethren packed into the lodge room for four simultaneous initiations - no small feat for those who know the space.
The candidates were superb, the Festive Board was buzzing, and credit goes to David Leask, Dave Richards, and Mark Tyers(JD) for flawless organisation.
Plus four new joining members.

Peter’s son Rupert flew in from Dubai for the occasion, attending his first meeting in 20 years.
RWBro Michael Price himself was in the Chair, making the morning even more special. 🎖️💙

Before the 1834 standardisation, Royal Arch ceremonies looked quite different! Originally heavily Christian and restricted only to Past Masters, the rituals featured an interesting dramatic flair. In one surviving historical account, Sojourners (the candidates) were bound with lifelines and supplied with "proper refreshment" (a glass of w**e) in the middle of the ceremony to assist them in their labours.

What do you remember about joining the Royal Arch or are you yet to take that step and want to find out more ?

When, how, and where did the Royal Arch originate? The honest answer from top Masonic scholars is simply: we don’t know. The earliest record of a Brother being "Raised" to the Royal Arch is in Bristol in 1738. Because the early workings were so fragmented, 1834 became a massive watershed moment for the Order when a special committee was formed to finally clarify and confirm the ceremonies.
