Welcome to the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
Orient of Alabama
The Scottish Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry.
In the United States the Scottish Rite is officially recognized by Grand Lodges as an extension of the degrees of Freemasonry. The Scottish Rite builds upon the ethical teachings and philosophy offered in the craft lodge, or blue lodge, through dramatic presentation of the individual degrees.
As the Deputy Genreal for orient of Alabama, I hope this website can be of assistance to you, our brethren.
