I'm going to restart a Fellowcraft team/club in my district , My lodge used to have one back in the 50's and 60's. It's not a fellowcraft team for the MM degree , but for the FC degree . There is only three of us that can give the Staircase Lecture (Winding Staircase) perfectly . Myself and two others . There are alot of the younger , newer MM's who have came to me wanting me to teach them how to deliver it properly . I've told them that it's not something I can teach , but takes time and practice . But I can give them pointers .
What it is going to consist of is one Brother who can do the first section perfectly , then a few Brothers who can put on the Staircase lecture , one for each section of the stairs and so forth and then one who can do the Letter G perfectly . I get called out to put the Staircase Lecture on for quite a few of the lodges in my area and in my Lodge I put on the entire degree myself , and that is alot of talking for one person .
We are going to take a few steps further and have a few brothers who can go from lodge to lodge and put on the 2nd and 3rd sections of the EA degree perfectly . Very few can put those parts on completely from memory anymore . And it's also going to be like a club of sorts where we can talk about and practice ritual and all things Freemasonry and anything else that comes to mind .
Some have stated we could also be a Fellowcraft team for the MM degree but I am hesitante about that because I'm not real big on the MM degree and so many put more importance on the MM degree and the EA and FC play second fiddle to it . I would much rather see a well done EA and Fellowcraft degree anytime over a MM degree .
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas ?
