I have been reading Keith Jacksons book, and noted that the KTP have control over a fairly large number of degrees, working only the one.
If anyone on here is a member, are the other degrees every worked, and do rituals exist for them?
As a tangental point, do any of the Scottish Masons on here think it would be a good idea to pull a Scottish version of Keith Jacksons book together (with all the obvious aknowledgements)?

I am in HRAKTP, or KTPs for short otherwise known as "The Order of Holy Wisdom" . The Degrees of which you speak are confered in name only as far as I am aware, a bit like the situation in Rose Croix.
I don't know if they are ever worked, as is the case in Rose Croix where a Demonstration Chapter does perform a couple every year at various locations in England.

I was once invited to a demonstration of 2 of the Degrees, about 2 years ago, unlike Rose Croix there is no official demonstration team, I think if they do it , it is done through Head Office and then only very occasionally.

Mike,
I have just telephoned a brother of brighthelmstone who is in Thornton Preceptory and he informs me that the ceremony lasts for a good hour and that there is a ceremony on another evening to be madea knight of Malta.
Hope you enjoy it. I will introduce you to him on The 8th at my raising.
You will be spoilt for choice as Steve and Chris will also be there so you can have a good old chat about KT.
The WM of Brighthelmstone is also due to join this order.
