REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE DEPUTY GRAND COMMANDER

TO: THE COMMITTEE ON THE DOINGS OF GRAND OFFICERS

FROM: R. BRADLEY ALDERFER, KCT, DEPUTY GRAND COMMANDER

DATE: 8/22/2013

It has been my honor and privilege to serve as your Deputy Grand Commander for the preceding

Templar year. During the year, I participated in a number of activities and have thoroughly

enjoyed the many friendships I have made and continue to make with other Templars from around

the United States and throughout the world. Following is a brief summary of my activities:

I represented your Grand Commandery at the Annual Conclaves of the Grand

Commanderies of Vermont, Connecticut, and Mass & Rhode Island.

I accompanied your Grand Commander to the Annual St. John’s Day Service in

Portsmouth.

I represented the Grand Commandery at the 2012 Triennial in Alexandria, where I was

honored by my election to a 9 year term as Trustee of the Permanent Fund of Grand

Encampment, and my appointment as Chair of the Committee on the Knight Templar

Education Foundation

I attended the Northeast York Rite Conference in Albany, NY.

I participated in each of the Annual Inspections within the State.

It has been a most enjoyable if not challenging year, both masonically and personally. I am

grateful for the understanding and support of the Templars both here and throughout the nation.

My experience in serving your Grand Commandery over the past several years has provided me

the opportunity to build wonderful fraternal relationships with Sir Knights throughout the United

States. For this, I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to have served, and I look forward to

continuing to serve in such capacity as may be deemed appropriate by the members of this Grand

Commandery.

GRAND SENIOR WARDEN

REPORT OF THE GRAND JUNIOR WARDEN

To the R.E. Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of New Hampshire:

Dear Grand Commander Sir,

As you know I was elected as Commander of Trinity Commandery Number 1 in April 2012, just

before I was elected as Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Commandery of New Hampshire in

May.

In the past year I have been pleased to perform the following duties as your Grand Junior Warden.

- On June 13 I presided over Trinity as the RE Deputy Grand Commander exemplified the short

orders of the Orders of Red Cross and Malta. Following this meeting I was initiated into the Past

Commander's Association of New Hampshire.

- On June 22 I conferred the Order of the Temple in Manchester where we knighted 8 new Sir

Knights. I recognized and introduced our Grand Commander.

- Beginning on August 12 and through August 16, I travelled to Alexandria, Virginia as the proxy

for our Grand Captain General to attend the 65th Triennial of the Grand Encampment of Knights

Templar of the USA.

- Also in August I attended a York Rite Grand Officer's meeting at the Manchester Masonic

Temple.

- On September 26 the Manchester York Rite bodies met; Trinity Commandery met for a brief bit

of business at this time, where I presided.

-On November 3 I attended the inspection of North Star-St. Gerard/Sullivan-Hugh de Payens

Commanderies in Lancaster and enjoyed the experience up north quite a bit.

-On November 14 Trinity Commandery met for its stated conclave and we were joined by

Eminent Richard Van Doren, Past Commander of Boston Commandery No. 2 and a line officer

for the Grand Commandery of Massachusetts & Rhode Island, who gave a presentation on Sir

Knight Henry Fowle and his importance to Templary in our nation.

-On December 1 Trinity held its inspection (jointly with Nashua) where I filled in as Captain

General during the work while trying to also handle several other aspects as our MC and others

were not present; we knighted 10 Sir Knights, welcomed SK Bob Hazleton, PGC of Maine; the

Grand Commander offered some words and I was pleased to recognize the Grand Master who was

also present.

-On February 27 I presided as Commander of Trinity. This was, unfortunately, a meeting that fell

on a snow storm evening and my previously scheduled program of having Sir Knight Kirk White

from Vermont come and perform a presentation, but I had cancelled the speaker but held the

meeting as specified in our bylaws. We had an excellent discussion in the meeting about knightly

virtues and chivalry in society, and it was a most enjoyable time.

-On March 16 I attended the annual meeting of the Past Commander's Association in Portsmouth,

followed by the inspection of Dewitt-Clinton/Palestine Commanderies in Portsmouth.

It has been a distinct honor and pleasure to serve the Grand Commandery of New Hampshire over

the past Templar year and I look forward to a long, continued service with the same.

In Faithful Templar Service,

SK Paul C. Smith

Grand Junior Warden

Report of Unfinished Business

To the RE Grand Commander and the Companions of the State of New Hampshire:

Upon review of the Proceedings of 2012, all unfinished business was satisfactorily concluded.

Sincerely and fraternally,

Dennis A. Sheridan, R.E. Grand Recorder

REPORT OF FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Officers and Sir Knights of the Grand

Commandery of Knights Templar for the State of New Hampshire:

Your Grand Recorder reports that all Fraternal Correspondence has been received through

this Office and has been acted upon, with the expressed knowledge and approval of the Right

Eminent Grand Commander.

Correspondence was generally in the form of approving and recommending Grand Representative

Appointments.

Sincerely yours,

Dennis A. Sheridan, R.E. Grand Recorder

Report of the Committee of Publicity and Public Relations

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Officers and Sir Knights of the Grand

Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of New Hampshire:

The Publicity Committee reports that New Hampshire York Rite is still progressing with

candidates at all three Inspections.

We are still using the Web Site at www.nhyorkrite.com and have added a page for York Rite

Bodies’ Trestleboards and even a calendar to keep track of degree work and meetings. Sir Knight

Scott M. Ayen, EC from Sullivan-Hugh de Payens Commandery developed the calendar for us.

We encourage all York Rite Bodies to submit their notices to the Grand Recorder’s Office by

email so they may be included and their degree dates, etc. added to the calendar.

Our Facebook page is being utilized for communication as well and we encourage those on

Facebook to seek us out and interact.

Sir Knight Herbert H. Hutchinson’s daily reports of deceased or ill brethren and sisters of our

jurisdiction show tireless dedication to the craft. We all thank him for his efforts on keeping us all

up to date on our distressed and worthy Sir Knights.

Right Eminent Grand Commander, it is a pleasure for this Committee to serve the Grand

Commandery.

Sincerely yours,

Paul C. Smith

R. Bradley Alderfer, Grand Generalissimo

Dennis A. Sheridan, PGC, Chairman

REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND BUDGET COMMITTEE

TO: THE RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER, OFFICERS AND

MEMBERS OF THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR,

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

FROM: BUDGET & FINANCE COMMITTEE

DATE: 04/4/2013

It has been our privilege to serve as your Budget and Finance Committee for the preceding

Templar year.

We have reviewed the records of the Grand Treasurer, and we find the Grand Treasurer’s records

well-kept and properly cast. We will defer to the Grand Treasurer for the details thereof, including

the current balances in the various investments held in reserve.

Attached are the Budgeted Income and Expenses compared to the actual expenses to date for the

current year along with a proposed Budget for Fiscal Year ending in 2014.

The Grand Commandery continues to be extremely frugal. You will note that, although we

presented a balance budget, which included $2,800 in transfers from the Conclave and Triennial

Reserves, our actual spending year to date shows a deficit of less than $400; with none of the

transfers having occurred. This reflects budget surpluses in years past.

Given that out current operating funds are sufficient to meet current needs, we recommend that a

transfer from the Triennial Reserve, sufficient just to cover the year end deficit, rather than the full

amount budgeted, will serve us well both now and in the future

Respectfully submitted, R. Bradley Alderfer, KCT, Chairman

NH YORK RITE LIFE MEMBERSHIP FOUNDATION

MARCH 23, 2013

To: Sir Knight John S. Geas., REGC, and Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery, K.T. of the State of New

Hampshire:

The annual meeting of the NH York Rite Life Membership Foundation was held on Thursday, March 21, 2013.

At the end of fiscal year 2012, we had 285 life members in the Chapters, Councils and Commanderies, of which 81

were Commandery members. This year we received 3.57259% return on our investments of $60,256.60, for a total

income of $2,152.72. The income to be divided among the Commanderies is $762.49. Because of the declining

interest on our investments, we discussed the possibility of having to increase the X-factor rates for new members. If

this happens, it will be effective March 1, 2014. This is an incentive for members considering life membership to do

so prior to February 28, 2014.

The following officers were re-elected for 2013:

Robert L. Sutherland, Jr. President

Robert G. Hatfield Vice-President

Rodney A. Robinson Treasurer/Assist. Sec.

Robert M. Argel Secretary/Assist. Treasurer

ESK Robert G. Hatfield is scheduled to complete his three year term this year. The Foundation members strongly

recommend that he be re-elected for another three (3) years.

Respectfully submitted;

Doings of the Grand Commandery Officers

To the Grand Commandery Knights Templar of New Hampshire

The Committee on Doings of the Grand Commandery Officers submits the following report.

Your committee has reviewed the reports of the following Grand Officers:

V.E. Deputy Grand Commander

E. Grand Generalissimo

E. Grand Captain General

E. Grand Senior Warden

E. Grand Junior Warden

We commend the Past Grand Commanders of New Hampshire for their continued support of

Templary here in New Hampshire. We also commend the Grand line Officers for their dedication

and attention to duty.

Our Grand Commander is also to be commended for his efforts to further Knights Templary both

within and without the State.

We urge the Junior Grand Officers, even though not required, to file reports in the future to give

the Grand Commander an idea of what all of his officers are doing and also giving them

experience for the upcoming offices they may hold in the future.

The committee thanks the Grand Commandery and the Grand Commander for allowing us to

serve this past year.

Report of the Grand Recorder

To the RE Grand Commander and the Sir Knights of the State of New Hampshire:

The Proceedings for 2012-13 are completed and have been placed on the web site. I have

emailed our sister Jurisdictions with copies of the same, as well as printed version required by the

Grand Encampment Office.

Bills for the Proceedings including materials, duplication and postage, as well as copying

and postage for Annual Conclave notices, have been submitted to the Grand Treasurer and been

paid in full.

We are going to continue ask all Grand Officers to sign for materials supplied to them

from the Grand Commandery. There are missing items that we have not been able to locate. I

recommend that the incoming Grand Commander appoint a team to consider replacement of said

Jewels, or perhaps purchasing a new set of less expensive ones.

Most Reports from the Grand Officers have been submitted one week prior to the Annual

Business Conclave. However, the request was a two week notification. Report from the various

Committees have not been so received. I respectfully request that to make the Recorder’s Office

less challenging that all reports be emailed to me in timely fashion. Last year I had to wait months

for some reports and it held up finishing the Proceedings as hoped.

On another note, all Commanderies but one have integrated into the YRIS system. I have

taken over for North Star-St. Gerard Commandery and am using that for printing dues bills and

keeping record of dues payments now. I could still bring our other Grand Bodies into that same

system and make the work for all an easier chore. I think a Seminar for all Recorders is a good

idea and hope to have that arranged sometime soon.

Thank you, RE Sir, for allowing me to serve you and your Grand Commandery

Sincerely yours,

Dennis A. Sheridan, R.E. Grand Recorder

Your Committee meet with Robert L. Sutherland Jr. Sect/Treas. REPGC, to

discuss the Educational Scholarship Program.

Robert D. Steel (2017), and Robert Porter (2018). *New member to be 'elected at this

meeting, and Robert L. Sutherland Jr. Sect/Treas (2016). We discussed the business of the

Committee.

The Education Budgets for 2013 were filled and all other paper work is now current

with the Grand Encampment. The Grand Encampment has approved the budget for 2013-14

signed it and returned it. The Grand Encampment has developed another new reporting

system that makes the filing of all of our annual federal reports and Grand Encampment

reports. This past year we had only three requests for scholarships and we were able to

grant $1000.00 each.

All applicants must have a Masonic affiliation to be eligible. All application forms

must be completed and returned to the Education Recorder no later than April 30th, 2012.

Due to the fact that Trustee terms expire on December 31st we recommend the

election of SK Robert Porter for a term of five year to expire in 2018.

We wish to thank you and this Grand Commandery for the privilege of serving on

this Committee.

The scholarships offer this year will be voted on the 30th of April, at this time we

have 3 applications and they all should receive scholarships. However till the 30th of the

month we cannot release the names or how many scholarships will be issued.

REPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

TO: THE RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER, OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF

THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR, STATE OF NEW

HAMPSHIRE

FROM: MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE

It has been our privilege to serve as your Membership Committee for the preceding Templar year.

This year, again, no festival was planned in Manchester, and, as in prior years, we are pleased to

note that interest in the Rite continues to spread throughout the State. There has been a great deal

of activity throughout the state, particularly in Portsmouth, Manchester, Claremont and Lancaster.

While candidates in Commanderies have been fewer than in previous years, the activity level in

our Royal Arch Chapters is quite impressive, and should carry over into our Commanderies within

the year.

We continue to spread the word by making available the informative booklet, “The York Rite of

Freemasonry” at no cost to interested Master Masons at the Grand Lodge Semi-Annual

Communication in November. Our thanks to the Grand Lodge Education Committee and Sir

Knight Malcolm Wooff for assisting in this effort

In speaking throughout the State, we continue to use the tag line: Every Christian Mason wants to

be a Knight Templar, they just don’t know it, yet… More generally: Everyone wants to be a York

Rite Mason, they just don’t know it, yet….

While the membership function of the York Rite Bodies continues to be a unified effort, we

believe the appointment of a common Committee Chair for all three Grand Bodies would be most

helpful. We still need to get the word out, by letting the brethren know where they can find

information about the Rite.

We should continue our efforts to identify a single member in as many Lodges as we can who will

be visible, so that the brethren will have a “go to” person for information about the York Rite.

We should continue to make available The York Rite of Freemasonry to as many interested

masons as we can reach. As a part of this effort, we recommend that this Grand Commandery

assist in manning the information table made available by our Grand Master at the Grand Lodge

Annual Session in May. We suggest that said table be manned by knowledgeable brethren from

different parts of the state, armed with an adequate supply of The York Rite of Freemasonry,

along with other information on the Rite, such as the membership trifold, which has been

rewritten for New Hampshire, information on the local organizations, include location and

meeting times, and of course, petitions.

Our current Grand Master is more supportive of the York Rite than anyone who has served in

that office for many years. We should take advantage of that, and strive to support him in all his

fraternal efforts.

The Committee should also determine how visible our Grand Master will allow us to be. For

example, is it appropriate to appear in Lodge in the regalia of the York Rite bodies as visitors?

Can we craft correspondence for each constituent Lodge to get the word out?

Finally, each of us should contribute to the membership effort by being visible in the Blue Lodges

around the State, seeking opportunities to dispense information regarding the Order and

membership therein.

Respectfully Submitted,

NEW HAMPSHIRE MASONIC HEALTH AND WELFARE COMMITTEE REPORT

THIS YEAR I HAVE RECEIVED AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF E-MAILS NOTIFYING

ME OF OBITUARIES OF MASONS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. THESE E-MAILS GIVE

ME AN OPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THESE MASONIC M E M B E R S

(MASONS, ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR SISTERS, ORDER OF THE DEMOLAY AND

RAINBOW GIRLS, BEKTASH TEMPLE, SCOTTISH RITE AND OTHER MASONIC BODIES).

THIS GIVES ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACKNOWLEDGE MASONS THAT HAVE PASSED ON

FOR THE SERV ICE THEY HAVE GIVEN TO MASONRY AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. THERE

ARE MANY FINE MASONS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE THAT NEED AND DESERVE

RECOGNITION.

I WISH TO THANK ALL OF MY FELLOW MASONS FOR THESE E-MAILS.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THE OBITUARIES FROM THE NASHUA TELEGRAPH AND THE NEW

HAMPSHIRE UNION LEADER, THIS YEAR FROM LAST, SEEMS TO BE PRIMARILY THAT A

LOT OF OUR OLDER MEMBERS ARE DYING OFF. HOPEFULLY, WE ARE BEGINNING TO

ADD MORE NEW MEMBERS TO THE VARIOUS MASONIC BODIES.

THIS REPORT HAS BECOME VERY ATIRACTIVE TO MANY ADMINISTRATIVE AND

VARIOUS MASONIC HEADS AND AS BECOME A MUST READ FOR MANY. I NOW

HAVE ABOUT 80 NAMES ON MY DISTRIBUTION LIST.

FRATERNALLY,

HERBERT H. HUTCHINSON, CHAIRMAN

FOR THE COMMITTEE

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PATRIOTIC ACTIVITIES

To: John S. Geas, Right Eminent Grand Commander, Officers, and Sir Knights of the Grand

Commandery of New Hampshire:

Date: March 29, 2013

During the last Templar year, one item was referred to this Committee, participating in the Meat

House’s ninth annual Operation: Thank You! on July 29 at the Redhook Brewery at Pease

International Tradeport. The largest military appreciation event in New England, it is a fundraiser

for the New Hampshire Air National Guard’s Chaplain’s Emergency Relief Fund.

Committee member, Eminent John B. Clark was in attendance, and while noting that a number of

Freemasons were at the event, he was unable to ascertain the number of Sir Knights who were

there. It will be held again this year at the Redhook Brewery, and is scheduled for Sunday, July 21,

2013 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The Committee encourages Commanderies to promote events such

as this and the Easter Seals’ Veterans Count program among their members, and to actively support

them.

The Committee suggests that Commanderies take time at a Stated Conclave to recognize

individuals within their communities who have demonstrated the virtues of patriotism; or to hold a

Special Conclave or awards banquet. The recognition can be the presentation of a plaque or

certificate to the honoree, with a flag flown over the White House. Flags may be ordered through

the offices of Senators Ayotte and Shaheen, and Representatives Custer and Shea-Porter. The costs

currently start at under $20.00, including shipping.

The Committee recognizes the difficulties every Commandery faces in attaining an adequate

compliment of Sir Knights to participate in a Memorial Day or Independence Day parade. We

encourage Commanderies to join together to March in a display of patriotism by our Sir Knights.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert M. Porter, Grand Generalissimo, Chairman

John B. Clark, Grand Captain General

REPORT OF THE GRAND COMMANDER

To the officers and members of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State

of New Hampshire, I submit the following report.

I would like to welcome you to the Annual Conclave of the Grand Commandery of New

Hampshire. I can never thank the Grand Commandery enough for allowing me the opportunity to

serve you and I sincerely appreciate your faith and trust in me. I have not done any harm to the

Grand Commandery but have not dragged it down either but I feel that I have not contributed to its

growth but not left it stronger than when I started as Commander.

To our out of state quests, I want to thank you for sharing today with us. We have traveled

together, met in many places and these friends make every place I visited, it has felt like home. I

appreciate all the Red Cords that have taken the time to be with us today and all the courtesies they

have extended to me at the conclaves I have attended and regret the ones that I missed.

COMMANDERY INSPECTIONS

I attended both the Manchester and Portsmouth inspections and found them to be well

done and The Order of the Temple was well done by both Commanderies. Manchester and Nashua

combined, as well as Rochester and Portsmouth. Even though they were very well done, I would

like to see the Commanders and regular officers of each do their own work and not the same people

doing the work over and over. We should see more work from all the Commanderies by the elected

and appointed officers.

BY-LAW/DISPENSATIONS GRANTED

I granted two by-law changes for Claremont and Manchester to change their meetings by

moving days and times. All were approved by By-laws Committee and Jurisprudence.

I approved dispensations for Lancaster, Claremont and Manchester to have several Select

Masters be given the obligation for both the Order of Malta and Red Cross, so they could receive

the OOT at the inspections.

ACTIVITIES

Below are listed are the major activities I attended during my term as Grand Commander.

I attended many youth groups and I strongly urge all Grand Commandery officers to maintain close

contacts with our Masonic youth groups. These youth are our future and we need to support them to

the fullest.

CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

I was unable to be in Claremont for their Christmas Observance due to family commitment. I had to

cancel the Manchester Observance for Grand Commandery due to both conflicts with other

Masonic bodies and the availability. The following was my message I sent to Claremont.

Dear Companions and Sir Knights,

This is the season of great full thanks, the joyful celebration of the birth of Jesus's and

welcoming of a new year. Let us remember our Brethren and their families in the spirit of Faith,

Hope and Charity. Remember those who are separated from their loved ones performing their

duties in the armed forced and especially the ones in harm’s way.

LET US PRAY

Lord, let us grant that we may see peace in our lifetime, experience the warmth of thy

presence and teach us to demonstrate our abilities to support mankind in the performance of thy

Holy teachings that you have given us in your Holy Words. AMEN

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR,

John S. Geas, Grand Commander

GRAND COMMANDERY BUSINESS MEETING

I believe the business meeting went very well, as we conducted all business in a timely

manner. There was a snafu, but was rectified with a little help from the building manager. We did

not have a lunch, but nine Sir Knights went to the Back Room for discussion, friendship and good

food.

STATE OF THE COMMANDERY

We have combined Commanderies for inspections and changed requirements, added new

members, shared information and as usual said "THIS IS THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN

DONE", but that is not the way it should be done by the " GOOD OLD BOYS" we should change

our ways to modern times and not live and work in the past, do not change any of our ritual or our

ancient landmarks. We need to move with the times and involve our younger members, as some of

us, who are not getting any younger will leave our York Rite in a sad state later on without good

men to follow us.

RECOMMENDATIONS

I would like to keep the same form for inspections as we have in the past few years but put

more emphasis on having TACTICS performed at least once in the year with rehearsals.

CONCLUSION

I want to thank all my Grand Officers for their support and understanding for my year as

Grand Commander, especially at the business meeting, as we had all Grand Commandery Officers

present and several of the grand officers traveled out of state with media want to thank Trinity

Commandery for their support over the years as I progressed through the lines. I especially want to

thank REPGC Cole for appointing me to the Grand Line.

Respectfully submitted

John S. Geas

Grand Commander

REPORT OF THE JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE – 2013

To Right Eminent Sir Knight John S. Geas, Grand Commander, and the Sir Knight of the Grand

Commandery, Knights Templar of New Hampshire:

The Jurisprudence Committee has reviewed the report of the Grand Commander’s activities for the

2012 – 2013 Chivalric Year, and was pleased to receive a comprehensive report submitted in a

timely manner. We found the report to be both thoughtful and complete.

The Committee commends the Grand Commander for the extent of his travels to out-of-state Grand

Conclaves, and for his participation in both the Northeast York Rite Conference and Grand

Encampment Triennial. Also of note is his participation in activities across the entire Masonic

family in New Hampshire. His itinerary for the year shows participation with Rainbow on several

occasions, Eastern Star and Scottish Rite in addition to many Appendant and invitational York Rite

bodies. Such cross-organizational involvement is important to both the Grand Commandery of New

Hampshire and Masonry in general.

We reviewed the by-law changes approved by the Grand Commander and find them to be in

accordance with applicable regulations. While not all members of the Committee were in complete

accord with the dispensation to obligate Royal Arch Masons in the first two Commandery Orders,

the action does fall within the purview of the Grand Commander’s authority, and there are

occasions when it is justified. We would only caution that the action should be used sparingly.

Those advancing to Knighthood should be fully knowledgeable of the entire journey.

Right Eminent Sir, it has been a pleasure working with you this past year, and we thank you for the

opportunity to serve our Grand Commandery. You served this Grand Commandery well over the

past 12 months and for many years previous. We wish you continued success in all your personal

and Masonic endeavors.

In the Faith,

Robert H. Cook, PGC

Robert L. Sutherland, Jr., PGC

Richard F. Cole, Jr., KCT, PGC, Chairman

RULES FOR MASONIC DATES IN 2004

ANCIENT CRAFT MASONRY Commence their era with the creation of the world, calling it ANNOS LUCIUS (A.L.), “In the year of Light”. Add

4000 years to the Common Era. Thus 2004 plus 4000 would be 6004 A.L.

ROYAL ARCH MASONS Dates from the year the construction of the Second Temple was commenced by Zerubhabel, ANNO

INVENTIONIS (A.I.), “In the year of the Discovery”. Add 530 years to the Common Era. Thus 2004 plus 530 would be 2543 A.I.

ROYAL AND SELECT MASTERS Dates from the year in which the Temple of Solomon was completed, ANNO DEPOSITIONIS (A. DEP.), “In the

year of Deposit”. Add 1000 years to the Common Era. Thus 2004 plus 1000 would be 3004 A.Dep.

ORDER OF HIGH PREISTHOOD Dates from the year of the blessing of Abraham by the High Priest Melchisedek, ANNO BENEFACTO (A.B.), and

“The year of the Blessing.” Add 1913 years to the Common Era. Thus 2004 plus 1913 would be 3917 A.B.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Commence their era with the organization of the Order, ANNOS ORDINIS, (A.O.), “In the year of the Order.”

Subtract 1118 from the Common Era. Thus 2004 minus 1118 would be 886 A.O.
