The approval by Supreme Grand Chapter of the new Royal Arch Exaltation Ritual was swiftly followed by a demonstration given by the Provincial Executive in Northampton in December 2004, when none other than the Provincial Grand Master (then VWBro Nicolas Hart) acted as Candidate!
The Most Excellent Grand Superintendent, E Comp Peter Kitson said,
This revised working, initiated by our own Past Grand Superintendent, E Comp Richard Sandbach, was ten years in the making and it is gratifying to note how quickly it has been accepted and adopted by all Chapters in the Province, I am so delighted. It brings the ceremony of Exaltation to life and makes it much more meaningful and relevant to the Candidate on the night. It is much more ‘user friendly’ and I have no doubt it will do much to encourage membership of the Royal Arch when our members are discussing it with young members of the Craft.
