Description

For most newly made Freemasons, the first introduction to the Preceptor of a Lodge of Instruction comes shortly after their Initiation. The Preceptor is the brother who will guide them through learning the ritual, and the way he goes about it can make all the difference to their enjoyment of Freemasonry.

In this practical handbook Charles J. Carter, an experienced Preceptor and Lodge Secretary, sets out how to run a successful Lodge of Instruction: explaining the LOI to new members, drawing up an annual plan, festive board training, learning a little at a time, encouragement, projection and audibility, pace and timing, body language, diction, individual instruction and much more.

Full of sensible advice drawn from long experience, it is an invaluable guide for any brother taking on the role of Preceptor, and for anyone who wants to deliver the ritual well.
