High Priest's Message


My Companions,

When writing this message I wanted to write something that was an explanation of the triple
Tau, the most prominent symbol of the Holy Royal Arch.

My research showed that the triple tau in some writings is considered to be the unity of
three Tau's while others say it is a T over an H indicating two Greek letters which stood for
the Temple in Jerusalem.  

One of the more common explanations I have found is that it stands for unity, and I have
come to believe that it stands for our Three Ancient Grand Masters, when in unity they
entered into a solemn agreement not to give the secret word of Master Mason unless they
three were together.

As we stand together in Peace, Love and Unity let us continue to do the work of our Ancient
Grand Masters.   Let us give our attention to the building of that spiritual temple, that house
in the heavens not made with hands.

I thank all of my Companions for placing your faith in me to lead you through this next year.  
I look forward to continuing the work started here in Corinthian Chapter for the year 2010.

Sincerely and Fraternally,
John A. Braun
Most Excellent High Priest, 2010
