Royal Arch Regulation 73

Regulation 73 establishes that, in the absence of specific provisions within the regulation itself, the rules and guidelines outlined in the Book of Constitutions for Private Lodges are applicable to Private Chapters. This regulation ensures consistency and uniformity in governance across Masonic bodies by extending the existing framework of Private Lodge regulations to Private Chapters. Practically, this means that any procedural, administrative, or operational matters not explicitly addressed in the Royal Arch regulations will default to the established rules for Private Lodges. Members and officers of Private Chapters must therefore be familiar with both sets of regulations to ensure compliance and proper functioning. This regulation underscores the importance of adhering to the broader constitutional framework while allowing for the unique aspects of the Royal Arch to be maintained.
