Special Conferral of the 28th Degree in Nashville on May 16th!

Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma is a rich text covering the degrees of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. There is one degree in particular that Pike decided to spend a full 220 pages writing on, taking a quarter of the entire book to discuss, that degree is the 28th Degree or the Knight of The Sun, or Prince Adept.

This degree is said by many to be the most philosophically rich and symbolically deep degree contained within the Rite and Pike's prized placement of it in his esteemed work leaves the voracious Scottish Rite Mason with no choice but to knock on its door and intrigue further into the mysteries it holds.

On May 16, 2024 the Nashville Valley will be hosting a special event exhibiting the 28th Degree, The Knight of The Sun, or Prince Adept, in its original form as Brother Albert Pike published it in the Liturgy of the Kadosh Degrees.

This is the very first time this degree has ever been conferred in the Valley of Nashville.

Details:
- Thursday May 16th, 2024
- Dinner at 6:00 PM
- Degree begins at 7:15 PM
- Cost of meal $15.00 in advance

Please RSVP by:

This event is for Scottish Rite Masons ONLY!
