Although, as a purest, I would prefer to only raise one at a time, in the interest of time it is much easier to do 5 at once. I think the way we do it makes the best of the situation and no brother leaves wanting! I was raised with 3 other brothers (from different lodges) at another lodge because at the time my lodge could not do the degree, so I am thrilled to do one at home for 5 of our own brothers.M.M.M.

Over here in Ol' Blighty, we have to get dispensation if we want to include more than two candidates at once (and I know some traditionalists who are even against putting two candidates through a ceremony at once!)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Ant<BR/><A HREF="http://rough-ashlar.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow"> Rough Ashlar </A>Anthony Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18174777901439590675noreply@blogger.com
