Grand Secretary’s Clerks

The document outlines the requirement that all clerks on the Grand Secretary's staff must be Master Masons, ensuring that individuals in these positions possess a foundational understanding of Masonic principles and practices. However, this requirement has been suspended by the Grand Lodge since September 7, 1949, pending further direction. This suspension indicates a temporary halt in enforcing the Master Mason prerequisite, which could impact the selection and appointment of clerks within the Grand Secretary's office. Researchers and practitioners should note the historical context of this suspension and its implications for staffing and administrative functions within the Grand Lodge. The document serves as a reference point for understanding the evolving regulations regarding clerical appointments in Masonic governance.
