Page 10 GRAND COMMANDER’S ADDRESS

To all Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana – Most Worshipful, Right Eminent, Very Eminent, Eminent, and Sir Knights All: This year, your Grand Commandery is acting in unification with the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Louisiana and the Grand Council of Royal & Select Masters, for the annual Grand York Rite Session, and this, the 152nd Grand Conclave of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana. Welcome to Baton Rouge, capital of the great state of Louisiana, and to the Crowne Plaza Hotel for a somewhat compressed and continually adjusted meeting schedule. Having been elected to serve this audacious fraternity was truly a great honor for me. Because of my belief that Templary is the highest honor in Masonry, I have strived hard to serve this organization and you Sir Knights to the best of my ability. I have said many times throughout my travels around the state, that nowhere else can you truly say you are a soldier of Christ, than as a Knights Templar. I would like to acknowledge and give my sincere appreciation to many Sir Knights that recommended me to begin this journey, kept me “fired-up” and going, and supported me or scolded me along the way as needed. First and foremost, our Most Worshipful Grand Master Mickey Durand, and Right Eminent Past Department Commander Howard Entwistle, who asked me if I’d be interested in serving and committing the time and energy to this honor. Thank you so much for your faith and guidance. To my good friend, Sir Knight Robert Laurents, and my “brother”, Sir Knight Tim Riley, for traveling with me over these years, and listening to all my “discussions” during those travels. To all the Past Right Eminent Grand Commanders I had the privilege to serve under and learn from; Right Eminent Sirs Pat Dickson, Keith Powell, Bill Mollere, and Frank DuTreil. Of course a leader is only as good as his secretary, and I certainly have one of the best recorders in the nation, and I am so thankful for his tireless efforts for our great fraternity. Thank you HPGC Robert Durham, you have been a god-send. There are so many others that I could never mention them within this address. Leave it to say that everywhere I traveled, the hospitality and brotherhood extended has been more than anyone could ever imagine. I sincerely appreciate all the hospitalities extended, and look forward to visiting my friends for many years to come. Thank you all for making us feel loved and at home. No one can lead without first being taught, and I must give a sincere thank you to my “home” Commandery, Ascension #06. This group of men have become and are a family that I look to continue to do great things for Masonry in our state. It is with great pride to me that they traveled completely across the state to support me as Grand Commander and open our Grand Conclave. Thank you, Sir Knights. You have all heard how this group has been meeting regularly to practice for openings and festivals. How someone always volunteers to bring a meal, and the fellowship has led to a kindred that has spilled over into the other areas of Masonry which we all serve. I love these guys, and thank God for the opportunity to be a member of their group. There is an old saying that a man is only as successful as the woman behind him. Well, again, I have been truly blessed. My lady was raised in a Masonic family. Her parents were active in the Eastern Star, and her father was a Past Master in Lafayette. She and her sister were active in the Rainbow Girls, and many of her closest friends today are friends she made those many years ago. Her husband, who predeceased her, served as a Past Grand Worthy Patron of Eastern Star. So, it was with little effort that she has been able to travel throughout the state with friends and acquaintances everywhere we traveled. Thank you Carolyn Edgar for all that you do for me, with me, and in spite of me. You have truly been a lady and a friend that I needed.

Page 11 Your Grand Line Officers that served with me this past year have been a blessing also. Each of them are leaders within their Blue Lodges, and within many of the appendant bodies such as the Scottish Rite. Their commitment and dedication to Masonry is to be commended. I appreciate those that were able to travel and support Templary within the state and across the nation. You couldn’t ask for a better deputy, and I am very glad that SK Richard Fox will follow me and continue a great effort of service. I have to brag on SK Holley. Due to a conflict with a funeral during South Central, he made arrangements and attended another conference to learn the things that we officers need to pick up on at these “schools”. SK Freeman was very helpful when a prior engagement I had was forcing me to miss the Grand Amaranth Session. Thank you, my Brother, for stepping in and representing the Grand Commandery. SKs Lazar and Owens have shown that they are committed to you, and will make an impact of Templary in Louisiana. All of the officers and aides did a good job of what was asked of them to do, thank you all for your service. I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge and thank all of those from the Grand Encampment and other Grand Commandery Jurisdictions that were a part of this year. First and foremost, I would like to thank our Most Eminent Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, Sir Knight David Dixon Goodwin. It was indeed a great honor and privilege that he was in attendance at our 151st Grand Conclave, and honored us by installing the 2015 Officers. Not many Grand Commanders have had that honor, and to be sure, it was truly a fulfilling opportunity. Our Right Eminent Department Commander of the South Central Department, Sir Knight T. Michael Fegan of Kansas, worked well with us and was a pleasure to visit with throughout the year. I’d like to thank the Grand Encampment Representative to our Grand Conclave, Right Eminent Michael Burke Johnson, the Right Eminent Grand Captain General. RE Sir Johnson hails from Wyoming and has been a good friend to Louisiana Templary for several years. We are honored to have him in attendance, and welcome him to our Southern Hospitality. Each jurisdiction which I had the opportunity to visit, the Grand Commander, and in most cases their Grand Master of Masons for that state, were very cordial and friendly. I will cherish the friendships we made, and look forward to visiting them again. A Grand Commander has no excuse to not have a successful year, especially with the resources found right here in Louisiana. With our living Past Department Commanders Earl Little, Lloyd Hebert, and Howard Entwistle, you have an invaluable tool of knowledge, experience, and connections throughout the entire Grand Encampment. Through their service and experience, they have given wise counsel and assistance throughout the year. There are so many other Sir Knights throughout the state that receive little or no recognition, however their service is as important or more so as those of us who stand in the limelight. These Sir Knights have unselfishly given of their time and talents to set up rooms for meetings, festivals, and assemblies. They come early to cook meals, and stay late to clean kitchens and wash dished. These Sir Knights work behind the scenes, many times unrecognized, but vital in the smooth operation of our fraternity. To you, Sir Knights, thank you so very much for your dedication and service. Over the years, I have had the honor and privilege to attend and bring greetings to the Rainbow Girls and DeMolay Assemblies. They have a saying that I found very fitting, and that we not only as Sir Knights, but in all of Masonry, should heed, “From the ranks you have come, and to the ranks you shall return”. A very humbling statement, but so very true. No matter what our rank, we should always remember that we are all on the level, and that a Master Mason is the basis for all we believe. And should we never let accolades from our brothers raise us to a level of haughtiness that we forget the motto of our Order, “Not unto us, O’ Lord, not unto us, but unto your name be the Glory!”.

Page 12 STATE OF THE ORDER The State of the Order of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana is actually in good standing. While there remains many areas which need work and constant effort, we see so much good coming out of the efforts of our local Commanderies. The tireless efforts of the leaders and membership of each Commandery, has proven that this fraternity will continue to offer great things for our state. Membership has been a major issue for many years, not only in Masonry, but with most civic organizations around the country. While we continue to see a decrease in membership, we were able to see improvement within the Knights Templar. Preliminary totals show a net loss of only 44 members for 2014 across the entire state. While this is still a problem, the confidence that it is nearly 2/3 lower than the past several years, shows that perhaps we are reaching the bottom of a cycle, and about to begin a growth cycle which will take us back to those membership totals of glory years. We are excited with the number of Commanderies which are striving to hold 16-man openings. This shows that they want to involve more men in this Christian branch of Masonry. While there were a couple of Commanderies which showed some areas of concern, we had a couple of others that just came bucking out of the chute. Bethlehem Commandery #21 actually opened correctly and in proper form for the first time in many years, hosted a school of instruction, and grew by 10 new Sir Knights this past year. Other local Commanderies which had growth years in membership were: Payen #16; Crusader #21; Istrouma #28; and C.A. Everitt #29. Three lost only one member total through the year, and another ended at scratch with no change in membership. Five actually lost total members for the year, however they did a proper job of knighting new Sir Knights, but couldn’t overcome the deaths that occurred. Several of the local bodies saw new leadership within their assemblies, and some efficient and productive changes in the ways things were done. This resulted in a couple of them finding their membership rolls “cleaned up” and brought into a more accurate accounting of true numbers of Sir Knights. The Louisiana Supplement of the Knight Templar Magazine was again masterly administered by REPGC Richard James. He continues to do a great service to the York Rite in Louisiana by soliciting articles and photographs of topics of interest to our membership, and having them placed in the magazine. Thanks to all of you whom have contributed to this effort. SK James was very diligent in making sure that each body received attention and that each article was interesting. Our Knight Templar Eye Foundation continues to thrive. This past year, we placed an emphasis on promoting 100% participation in the Life Sponsor program. We saw many Sir Knights take this opportunity to participate and support this great philanthropy. Our VEDGC Fox has again promised to continue the effort to have 100% participation of all Sir Knights in Louisiana. I would encourage each of you to consider doing this. Not only does it save your local assembly money, it helps a worthy cause. Probably the hardest worked chairman this year was Sir Knight Joseph Patterson, chairman of the Knights Templar Holy Land Tour. Of course I say this in good natured jest, but I do appreciate this relatively new Sir Knight for agreeing to take on the responsibility of so great and important project. Ideally, this program is one of the best ways we serve non-Templar Christians throughout our state. By sponsoring pastors to visit the land where Jesus walked and held his ministry, local preachers have the opportunity to see, learn, and experience a new perspective with which to bring the gospel back to their congregation. Unfortunately, due to the conflicts in the Middle East and surrounding regions, it was deemed unsafe to send tour groups over this year. However, even though we didn’t actively participate by sending anyone, SK Patterson promoted the program and kept interest alive. Thank you for your efforts. I would like to thank Gerald Houston, Most Eminent Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons, and Carle Jackson, Illustrious Grand Master of Royal & Select Masters for serving their York Rite Bodies in conjunction with me. They are vital to the success of Knights Templar, if for no other reason than one has to pass their portals to be eligible to be a Sir Knight. It has been an interesting year serving with them. Page 13 ADMINISTRATIVE AIDES AND AIDES DE CAMP I asked young men whom I knew through other appendant bodies of Masonry to get involved in Templary, and to bring their enthusiasm and experience from those other bodies into our fraternity. These men had done great work within the DeMolay, Shrine, and Scottish Rite Bodies. And, I appreciate their dedication to take a more active approach within Templary and to help to motivate interest and growth. Serving as Administrative Aides were: #01 – Wilson O. Cook, PC; #02 – Wesley “Junior” Hebron; #03 – Tom Kussman, PC; #04 – Andrew Owen; and #05 – Eddie LeBoeuf III. Serving as Aide-De-Camps were: #01 - Barlow Holley; #02 – Luke Guy; #03 – Charles Bertrand, PC; #04 – Rory Bozeman, PC; and #05 – Donald Freeze. Sir Knights, I personally thank you for your service rendered during this past year and your dedication to Templary. NECROLOGY We had many Sir Knights who performed many missions of service to Templary, sheathed their swords for the final time, and went to that house not built by hands. We grieve them and honor their dedicated service. We had 34 Sir Knights from around the state which have passed on, and we will have a Memorial & Divine Service on Sunday, near the close of this Joint Session. TRAVEL A complete listing of my travels is included following this report. However, I would like to say it has been a truly fun and exhilarating experience to have had the opportunity to travel and represent the Grand Commandery wherever we traveled. The day after being installed, we traveled to Mississippi for their Grand Conclave, traveling into Tennessee the next week for their Grand Lodge session. It seemed to never stop after that, except for few weeks off to heal from knee surgery. VEDGC Fox covered for me in Missouri during that time, but then I was able to return to the road and represent you in Oklahoma, Texas, at South Central in Kansas, the SE Conference of Grand Masters, and the many other Masonic functions around the state and country. It was a pleasure to get to visit with our MEGM Goodwin at many of these functions, but especially at Shrine Imperial in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As I said at the top of this address, never was I not made to feel like I was truly welcome and a part of this family. I always enjoy the courtesies extended to me, but especially in Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. OBLIGATORY SERVICES The Grand Recorder has detailed the totals from each reporting Commandery during the year. It was my honor to attend so many of the services with so many of the different Commanderies. I attended the Templar/Scottish Rite Joint Easter Service in Baton Rouge, and the Easter Service at Yellow Pine Christian Church with Ascension and Crusader Commanderies. Although not obligatory, was able to attend and pay respects to our military dead at Memorial Day Services at Hillcrest Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery. Attended Ascension Day Services with Indivisible Friends in New Orleans, Rhodes Commandery in Leesville, and Payen Commandery in Lafayette. And, shared in Christmas Observance with Ascension Commandery in Shreveport, Crusader Commandery in Bossier City, and Trinity Commandery in Alexandria. DISPENSATIONS GRANTED The following Dispensations were submitted and approved by the Grand Commander: 1) Malta Commandery #12 – Move their charter on Saturday, November 25, 2014 for the purpose of holding a joint inspection with Payen Commandery #16. 2) Malta Commandery #12 – Move their meeting from the 2nd Saturday of each month to the 03rd Thursday of each month with a meeting time of 7 PM. 3) Monroe Commandery #07 – Hold a special election for position of Recorder. 4) Istrouma Commandery #28 – Move their charter to Alexandria, for a special Conclave on November 22, 2014.

NOT FAREWELL, BUT PERHAPS “GOOD RIDDANCE” Again, Sir Knights, thank you so very much for allowing me to serve you as Grand Commander. Although there were some circumstances that “threw me in the fire” a little earlier than the normal route, we were able to persevere and have a good year. There are always things that you had wanted to try or accomplish during your time at the helm, but under the circumstances we worked with what we had, and had such an amazing time. As I said earlier, “from the ranks you shall come, and to the ranks you shall return”. Although my term as Grand Commander is coming to an end, I shall return and remain active as a “foot soldier”, always here to serve and assist. Thank you all for your support and confidence, it is truly an honor that I will cherish the rest of my days. God Bless each and every one of you. Thank you.

GENERAL ORDER NO. 2 BOSSIER CITY, LOUISIANA SERIES 2014-2015 SEPTEMBER 3, 2014

After discussion with the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, MW: Earl J. Durand, I am issuing the following General Order.

The Grand Master's letter dated July 15, 2014 concerned the appearance of the Masonic Square & Compass being displayed alongside other emblems which might give a bad public connotation to Masonry, and on uniforms or items of clothing which might be soiled or worn in inappropriate establishments.

While the “Skull & Crossbones” have significant meaning in both the Scottish Rite and York Rite degrees, many people outside of Masonry do not understand its true origin and meaning, and interpret it as being associated with pirates, poisons, or satanic usages.

Therefore, I am issuing a concurrent General Order barring the public display by Knights Templar of the Skull & Crossbones emblem, or any emblem in association with the Masonic Square & Compass, which may give the uninformed public a misunderstood or unfavorable opinion of Masonry.

It is hereby ordered and directed that this General Order be read in open Commandery at its next Conclave.

Given under my hand and the seal of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana, this Third day of September, A. D., 2014, A. O. 896.

GENERAL ORDER NO. 3 BOSSIER CITY, LOUISIANA SERIES 2014-2015 OCTOBER 7, 2014

TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OF LOUISIANA AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

The guide lines for the 47th annual Voluntary Campaign for the Knights Templar Eye Foundation have been established with the dates of October 1, 2014 as the beginning and ending April 30, 2015. This Grand Commandery will certainly want to assist in making a greater significant contribution toward this humanitarian work than the amount made during the last successful Campaign.

As Grand Commander, I am delegating the duties as Chairman of this Campaign to Sir Knight Conrad C. Gauthier, P.C. His address is 520 Roger Road, Lafayette, LA 70507-2800. All funds that are collected during the Campaign should be transmitted to the office of the Grand Recorder. These funds will then be transmitted to the Foundation following a recording in his office.

All Sir Knights are urged to work with our fellow Sir Knights and Masons to assist in making this a very productive Campaign.

It is hereby ordered and directed that this General Order be read in open Commandery at its next Conclave.

Given under my hand and the seal of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana, this Seventh day of October, A. D., 2014, A. O. 896.

Page 35 NECROLOGY REPORT

TO THE RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER, GRAND OFFICERS AND SIR KINGHTS

The Necrology Committee has met to perform the duties assigned to it. As in past years we have seen membership decline as the evolution of time has taken its toll. We have been very fortunate during the current Templar year as our Corp of Officers has been retained; however, many Commanderies have lost members. We too must face death, but until then, we must face life unafraid, as we remember these Sir Knights and cherish their memories; remembering that they have passed on to that eternal house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. Our final report will be brought to its finality on Sunday, March 15, 2015 with our Memorial Service.

It has been a pleasure to serve our Grand Commander and our Right Eminent Grand Commander, Andrew H. Stevenson during this year.

In Appreciation Again, we extend our appreciation to the Scottish Rite Valley of New Orleans for their assistance during the past year with the office space rental. I have not moved the office from New Orleans to Ponchatoula as yet, but plan to this year since the building has been sold.

I want to thank Bowdre McDowell, Grand Recorder Emeritus, for all his assistance again, this past year. Without his help, advice and assistance, the job would be much harder.

I extend to the officers of the Grand Commandery line and Past Grand Commanders my deepest thanks for their valued assistance when I called on them for assistance.

My Conclusions To those Recorders that are always efficient in reporting to me or using YRIS, I do thank you.

Again, for all Recorders in the state, the office of the Grand Recorder must have your annual returns in by January 31st of each year. With our Conclave being in March now, it shortens the time this office has to prepare when the Conclaves were in April, so please respond early on your annual returns, so that I can be better prepared to present "our" data more accurately!

To you Right Eminent Grand Commander Stevenson, our most Valiant one, it has been a pleasure to have been a part of your team this year and I commend you for the love that you have exhibited for Templary and the friendship that I have had the pleasure to enjoy!.

Courteously, Robert E. Durham, Jr. - HPGC & Grand Recorder

Page 40 REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE ORDER February 26, 2015

TO: THE RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER, GRAND OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE GRAND COMMANDERY OF KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OF LOUISIANA:

Your Committee on the State of the Order is pleased to report the Grand Commander’s welcome was cordial and warmly extended to the Sir Knights, with Special recognition to Sir Michael Johnston, Grand Captain General, of the Grand Encampment of the United States of America and other Grand Encampment Officers present. Special thanks were given to Most Worship Brother William J. Mollere, Grand Master of Masons of Louisiana.

All Commandries were visited, except one, due to scheduling conflicts and should have been visited since this writing. Throughout all visits, the Grand Commander’s enthusiasm and efforts to excite our members and should result in an increase in membership in the future.

There were no Twenty-five and Fifty year certificates were presented.

The Grand Commander recognized the good work and assistance of his aides and other Officers of the Grand Commandery.

Visitation in and out of State visits can be review in his allocution. His appreciation to the Inspector General, Sir Knight Johnny C. Byrd, for a “job well done” well deserves.

The Grand Commander expressed his appreciation to Sir Knight Robert E. Durham, Jr. Grand Recorder, for his aid and assistance deserves and earned compliment.

The Grand Commander acknowledged the assistance and help from his Lady Carolyn Edgar for her help and support during the year.

The Committee wishes to commend Sir Knight Andrew H. Stevenson for a successful year of leadership and devotion to our Christian Order.

Fraternally, Lloyd A. Hebert, PGC, GCT

December 27, 2014 To: Sir Knight Andrew H. Stevenson Sr. Right Eminent Grand Commander Knights Templar of Louisiana

Re: 2014 Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee Report Greeting Right Eminent Grand Commander Stevenson,

The committee for the Holy Land Pilgrimage would like to extend our gratitude for the opportunity to serve our beloved fraternity beside a leadership team that loves our craft as much as its brotherhood. Your dedication to Templary and our Rite have been an encouragement to us all and a light set before this fraternity as an example of what is a mason and not just a member.

I would like to congratulate you on a successful year of developing the future of our organization. The willingness to act quickly and precisely, saying “I will” instead of “I cannot”, and remembering brotherly love above all are just a few things your leadership has strengthened within our and especially my journey in search of Masonic light.

Our Mission is to send Ordained Christian Ministers, who would not have the opportunity to go to the holy land otherwise, and it is with deep regret that for this year, that mission was not fulfilled. After careful consideration, and the council of Sir Knight David Dixon Goodwin Most Eminent Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar, among the leadership within our Grand Commandery at the South Central Conference this decision was made. This was due to hostility rising and threats of greater war in and around the surrounding areas in which we send our pilgrims. Therefore the decision was made to not send a pilgrim and risk a precious life nor the reputation of masonry. I look to the words of our Lord and Savior and see these events as a sign of hope that we will soon see his coming:

Matthew 24: 3-8,13 (KJV) And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows… But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Once again we thank you for a great year and wish you all the best at your Conclave. Courteously, SK Joseph Patterson, Chairman Holy Land Pilgrimage Committee {SK Joseph Patterson – Chairman, SK Vernon R. Atkinson PC, SK Jules F, (Jeff) Webb PC}

Page 42 RELIGIOUS SERVICES COMMITTEE REPORT

All Commanderies in the state conducted the required religious observances, including Christmas, Easter and Ascension.

The observances were conducted in an appropriate location and with the Sir Knights dressed in uniform without swords.

These services were conducted by the Prelate of each Commandery or by a Christian Minister.

Respectfully submitted by Tom Brown, PC, KTCH Chairman

Page 43 Knights Templar Eye Foundation Campaign Annual Report

To: The Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Officers and Sir Knights:

It has been my honor to serve the Grand Commandery as State Chairman of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation Voluntary Campaign. The current campaign is the 47th annual and runs through May 2015. The final results will be published in the Knight Templar magazine.

It gives me pleasure to report on the results of the 47th Annual Campaign as reported by the Grand Encampment’s York Rite Information System as of January 15, 2015. Louisiana Knights Templar have donated $7295.00 of 73 % of total donated during the 46th Annual Campaign. That puts Louisiana on a pace to equal or exceed the donations of the 46th Annual Campaign.

The worthy and valiant Sir Knights of your Grand Commandery continue to demonstrate that beneficence that characterizes our order.

Respectfully submitted

Conrad Charles Gauthier PM

Page 44 Grand Commandery of the State of Louisiana Knights Templar Committee on Patriotic and Civic Activities 2014-2015

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Commandery Officer’s and Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of Louisiana:

The Committee comprised of Sir Knights John C. Sharlow, P.C. and all other Commanders of each Commandery in Louisiana has reported that the fourteen Commanderies within the Grand Commandery have held events celebrating the various dates for religious activities – Easter, Ascension Sunday and Christmas. Private and public appearances with Sir Knights in uniform were held in churches of Sir Knights or in Lodge Halls. Events for this year have or will be properly reported on each Commandery’ s year-end report.

Most Commanderies held special celebrations and observances for Veterans Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day throughout the year.

As a way for the Knights Templar to receive more recognition, several Commanderies have continued to act as Honor Guards during Masonic Lodge Installations.

Inviting family, friends and local Masons to public observances of religious activities by each Commandery is a great way for the public to observe the Knights Templar. As the public attends more official events they become aware of our Christian branch of Freemasonry.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Fraternally,

Sir Knight John C. Sharlow, P.C.

Page 45 Grand Commandery of the State of Louisiana Knights Templar Public Relations Committee 2014-2015

To the Right Eminent Grand Commander, Grand Commandery Officer’s and Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of the State of Louisiana:

The Public Relations Committee shall closely collaborate with all Grand Commandery Committees and Constituent Commanderies for the purpose of obtaining beneficial publicity for Templary and/or other Masonic activities. The Committee shall establish friendly relations with all valuable media of public communication, participate in local community events and support the constituent Commanderies to cultivate good working relationships with the local media in their communities.

The perception the public has of Chivalric Masonry affects our ability to be of service to our communities through our philanthropic projects, as well as, our ability to attract new members for Masonry, in general, and Chivalric Masonry, in particular.

The Publicity Committee strongly recommends that constituent Commanderies hold their obligatory services in a public manner to promote Templary in their local communities.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Fraternally,

Sir Knight John C. Sharlow, P.C.

Page 49 DeMolay and Youth Committee Report

Right Eminent Grand Commander and Sir Knights,

Your Committee on Youth reports that the Order of Rainbow for Girls and Order of DeMolay currently have ten Assemblies and seven Chapters, each with opportunities to grow stronger with assistance from our York Rite Masons. They continue to develop our states youth as the leaders of tomorrow.

This year has been another exceptional year for the young ladies who have been led by their Grand Worthy Advisor; Ms. Mickayla Blue. With only a few months remaining, the Committee would like to extend its commendation and best wishes to Ms. Blue and the Grand Assembly, who will hold the following events during the rest of her term: Rainbow University March 20-22, Obligation Sunday on April 5, Temple #87 Official Visit & Homecoming, Rainbow Grand Assembly will be in Bossier City on June 11-14, and Supreme Seminar July 23- 26. Your Committee also attended the reinstitution of Baker Assembly #83 in as Denham Springs Assembly #88 with Ruby Pledge Assembly #11 in Denham Springs, Louisiana on February 7, 2015. If you are interested in working with a Rainbow Assembly, please contact Ms. Debbie Cockran-Hock at [email protected]. (Also, visit the Rainbow website at www.Louisianarainbow.com)

It is a pleasure to announce that Charles F. Buck Chapter in Lake Charles has reopened and working hard for new members and new Advisors. York Rite Bodies can, and have in the past, served as sponsoring bodies of DeMolay Chapters. If you, or your Commandery, are interested in working with a DeMolay Chapter, please contact Sir Knight Nicholas Auck, Executive Officer of Louisiana at (225) 362-1120 or [email protected]. (Also, visit the Louisiana DeMolay website at www.LA- DeMolay.org). Brother Kyle Cook was installed as State Master Councilor of the Louisiana DeMolay State Association on January 11, 2014 and continues to serve in that office. Upcoming DeMolay events in 2015 include: March is DeMolay Month (celebrating 96 years of DeMolay worldwide), Legion of Honor observance March 18, the 25th Anniversary Old South Ritual Competition (March 20- 22, 2015) will be held for the last time at the New Orleans Scottish Rite Temple but will continue in a new location, Conclave will be near Eunice, LA on June 10-14, Fall Fest (Sports Conclave) in Sept/Oct in Lake Charles, State Chevalier Observance on November 8, and Winter Workshop (Installation of State Officers) will be in Monroe on January 9-11, 2015. Currently the State Association is working with area Lodges to reopen chapters in Baton Rouge, Livingston Parish, New Orleans and the Feliciana Parishes. While Freemasonry continues to provide meeting places and greatly appreciated funds, our youth organizations call upon the constituent Commanderies to give your most precious commodity, your time. Only you can make a difference in the life of these young ladies and gentlemen with your life experience. The Youth Committee asks that you please consider serving as an Advisor to assist these two organizations at the local or state level.

Fraternally,

Sir Knight Nicholas Auck Chairman Youth Committee

Page 50 COMMITTEE ON LONG RANGE GOALS

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

Your committee recommends the following suggestions be included in the proceedings of the Grand Commandery:

1. Continued efforts to form Membership Committees at the Commandery level. Communication by mail, when necessary, telephone, and electronic mail, supplemented by newsletters should be elementary functions of these committees. 2. Members should be encouraged to learn ritual and opening/closing parts, holding practice sessions, whenever possible throughout the year. 3. Programs on Templary can be carried to the Blue Lodges and even used to benefit those Lodges in open meetings programs such as Bring-A-Friend nights. 4. All purpose York Rite Petitions should be continuously available online at the websites of all York Rite Grand Bodies. These forms must be available at programs cited above. 5. Encourage Commanders to appoint committees to assist Recorders in locating and communicating with members with whom the Commandery has lost contact. 6. Commanders must plan their year, reporting their plans to the Grand Recorder to facilitate visitations by Grand Commandery Officers. 7. Grand Commandery Officers should continually be apprised of the identities of future leaders that may be invited to participate in Grand Encampment Leadership Training. 8. Public attendance in uniform at church services, funerals of Sir Knights, and other appropriate venues should be encouraged. 9. In a time when much of what is on the internet and social websites is counter to the standards of our chivalric order, good Masonic education is the job of all Knights Templar.

Respectfully submitted,

To:

R:E: Andrew Stevenson, Sr., G.C., Officers, and Sir Knights, The Grand Commandery of the State of Louisiana

The Masonic Library/Museum Foundation of Louisiana, Inc. has received many items, artifacts, and records related to the York Rite Bodies of Louisiana in general, and the Grand Commandery of the State of Louisiana in particular, during the past several years.

The Masonic Library/Museum now has many of these items proudly on display and the Grand Commandery of Louisiana is represented.

I encourage each Commandery, and all Sir Knights, to help preserve their individual Commandery history and that of the Grand Commandery of State of Louisiana.

Please consider donating any Commandery record books, pictures, artifacts, and other related items to the Masonic Library/Museum Foundation of Louisiana for preservation and display. If assistance is needed, contact the Commandery History Committee or the Masonic Library/Museum Director.

To all who have donated; thanks for your help, aid, and assistance with this most worthy project.

It has been a pleasure to serve on the History Committee for the Grand Commandery of Louisiana.

S.K. J.F. “Jeff” Webb, P.C. Chairman, History Committee

Page 53 REPORT OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

First and foremost, my sincere appreciation goes to our R. E. Grand Commander Andrew H. Stevenson, Sr., who placed his trust in me to perform the duties as Inspector General. This report provided to synopsize the Inspections performed during the previous year and also to provide insight to some areas of concern that the Grand Commandery and the subordinate Commandery’s need to evaluate.

Of the fourteen Commandery’s across our Grand Jurisdiction there was not a single Commandery able to hold a Separate Inspection without combining with another Commandery. This practice is not a bad one, but does present a wide array of problems for an Inspector General, with one exception. Crusader Commandery and Ascension Commandery conducted a Joint Inspection with Crusader Commandery as the Lead Commandery for a 16 Man Opening. With this being done this way, Crusader Commandery is the only Commandery in consideration for the “Top” Commandery conducting a 16 Man Inspection, as was Ascension Commandery in 2013. Since this was done as a Joint Inspection, Ascension Commandery met the requirement of having conducting an Inspection and did not schedule a separate Inspection on a different day. Where the difficulty lies for an Inspector General, is when two or more Commandery’s have Joint Inspections, e.g., Indivisible Friends, Jacques DeMolay and St. Paul conduct three separate Inspections in which all are joint and the Host Commandery is the lead, but the Principle Officers are the same or with very little changes, it presents difficulty as one may see. Additionally, if an Officer serves in the same position in two separate inspections, where there is a lead difference and that Officer performs better in one inspection than another, then the lead Commandery where that Officer had more difficulties would result in a lower score for that Inspection. Below is a recommendation for the Grand Commandery to consider:

- Joint Inspection for Commandery A and Commandery B for 2015, 2016 and beyond:

For 2015, if Commandery A is the lead - then Commandery B will not hold a separate Inspection for that year; For 2015, Commandery may hold a School of Instruction on a separate date, but not hold an Inspection; For 2015, Commandery A would be the only Commandery in consideration for having the best Inspection, either for the 16 man or 10 man; For 2016, Commandery B, would become the lead Commandery and be in consideration for having the best 16 or 10 man Inspection; For 2016, Commandery A, would not hold a separate Inspection and may have a Separate School of Instruction

Note(s): The recommendations contained in the outline above would be the same if more than two Commandery’s are participating.

As the results of the Inspections will be announced at the next Grand Commandery session, the results have been provided on a separate Inspection Scoresheet in PDF format.

Page 54 My gratitude, thanks and congratulations go out to all Commandery’s that conducted an Inspection or School of Instruction. For those who were unable to due to unforeseen circumstances or other reasons, it is my hope and prayers that you are able to get back on track in the upcoming year. Fellowship, Brotherly Love and caring was expressed and shown by all of the Sir Knights with whom I came in contact with. As my predecessor, SK Vernon Atkinson put in a previous report about Commandery’s striving to conduct their own single Inspection, I too, would love to see all reach this goal.

Right Eminent Grand Commander Stevenson, thank you again for this great opportunity and the opportunity to serve my fellow Sir Knights in the greatest Christian Order in the world. This concludes my report.

Fraternally and in Christ, Johnny Clark Byrd Inspector General

NAME OF GRAND COMMANDERY’S DOCUMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL LAW

Whereas a “Constitution” governs the most fundamental policy and procedure of the vast majority of organizations, Masonic and non-Masonic;

Whereas renaming the “Laws of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana” the “Constitution of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana” clarifies the document’s legal status as our fundamental law: Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED that the following language1 be substituted for the title “Laws of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana” (p. 1); Art. XV, §1-2 (pp. 10-11); and Art. XVI (p.11) of the Laws of said Grand Commandery, respectively, and that said language take effect immediately upon adoption:

RESOLUTION #2015-003 UNEXPRESSED LAW

Whereas the Laws of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana are silent on many questions of relevance to Templary in this State;

Whereas this resolution reflects the policy of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Louisiana (Art. I, Sec. 1, Constitution; Sec. 49, Statutory Regulations) and the policy of the Grand Council of Cryptic Masons of Louisiana (Subtitle, Constitution; Sec. 58, General Regulations);

Whereas the substance of this resolution has been the custom of said Grand Commandery in clarifying unaddressed matters of policy and procedure since time immemorial: Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED that the following language be added to the Laws (or equivalent) of said Grand Commandery and that said language take effect immediately upon adoption:

ARTICLE XVII – UNEXPRESSED LAW

Section 1. Grand Encampment Law

In the absence of any specific provision of this Constitution on any question, the Constitution, Statutes, Disciplinary Rules, Standing Resolutions, Ceremonies, Forms, and Approved Decisions of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America in its most current form shall govern. Notwithstanding, the Constitution, Statutes, etc. of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America shall take precedence in all cases.

Section 1. Grand Lodge Law

In the absence of any specific provision of the aforesaid Constitution, Statutes, etc. of the Grand Encampment of Knights Templar of the United States of America, the Handbook of Masonic Law of the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, Free and Accepted Masons, in its most current form shall govern.

RESOLUTION #2015-006

Article IV – Inspections Add: Section 3. Joint Inspections – Inspection to ARTICLE IV - INSPECTIONS

When Commandery’s combine for a Joint Inspection, one of the Commandery’s must be designated as the lead Commandery. When this is accomplished, the secondary Commandery will not hold a separate Inspection for scoring purposes. When Commandery’s choose to conduct Combined Inspections, then the Primary Commandery for subsequent Joint Inspections will alternate. The Secondary Commandery may at its discretion hold a School of Instruction.

Justification: Whereas, Commandery’s are not prohibited from conducting Joint Inspections with another Commandery, but when it is done and both Commandery’s hold separate Inspections where the other Commandery or Commandery’s are the secondary, it causes problems with scoring or ascertaining an equitable score amongst the Commandery’s participating. Additionally, it has been observed during recent Inspections, where joint inspections were performed and the Principal Officers were the same in separate Inspections.

Whereas, the addition of Section 3, Joint Inspections should eliminate the confusion and elimination of unnecessary Inspections where the same Officers or mix of officers are doing the same duties. Additionally, unnecessary expenses on other Commandery’s would be eliminated. Ultimately, the goal of every Commandery should be to host and perform their own individual Inspections, with assistance from other Commandery’s in positions such as Soldiers.

To the R. E. Grand Commander, Officers and Sir Knights of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Louisiana:

Your Finance Committee for the Templar Year 2014-2015 have reviewed the Grand Recorders Accounting records for the 2014 year and concur that all entries and statements are entered properly and agree with the report of the Grand Treasurer.

The actual 2014 receipts were $38,724.29, which was $1,897.15 less than the proposed 2014 budget of $40,621.44.

The actual 2014 disbursements were $38,980.41, which was $1,629.03 less than the proposed budget of $40,609.44. During the year, NO money was moved from long term investments to cover costs, compared to $5,000 moved in 2013, $10,000 moved in 2012, and $10,000 in 2011.

We submit a proposed budget for the Templar Year 2015-2016 as follows:

Receipts = $39,467.31 (based on the fact that this amount has been received and is 99.99% of the expected receipts for 2015).

Disbursements = $38,735.68, with, what is believed to include no need for withdraws from long term investments.

R. E. Sir, your Finance Committee submits this report for the approval of the Grand Commandery, and we so move at this time.

REPORT RECEIVED WITH THE INN STAFF INTRODUCED, A prolong applause followed the report and introductions

Michael Burke Johnson R.E. Grand Captain General of the Grand Encampment

The R.E. Grand Commander introduced Sir Knight Michael Burke Johnson and asked him to approach the East and address the Sir Knights.

S/K Johnson brought greetings from our Most Eminent Grand Master, David Dixon Goodwin. He was very complementary of our 16 man opening.

He then spoke on the next Triennial Conclave in Buffalo, NY where S/K Duane L. Vaught will no doubt be nominated to become our 58th Most Eminent Grand Master.

He spoke extensively on the fact that during 2016, there were plans being made to celebrate the 200th year of the Grand Encampment. He also spoke on the 200th year Malta Jewel which will be given to each new Sir Knight.

He informed us that if we had any questions about the Grand Encampment or its plans, to ask Howard F. Entwistle, Jr. or Lloyd A. Hebert (both present and both being past Department Commanders for the South Central Department) – there was a round of applause and chuckles for these comments.

S/K Johnson also said it was a real pleasure to have been here in Louisiana for this Grand Conclave and thanked the REGC for all the hospitalities afforded him while here visiting with us.

Standing applause followed his remarks.

Page 77 William J. Mollere Grand Master of Masons of the State of Louisiana

Our REGC then introduced William J. Mollere, Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana.

Our Grand Master thanked our REGC for his hospitality and manner in which he had run the business session of our Conclave.

Our Grand Master spoke on the goals and plans of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana, including the theme for his year of: Reengaging Masons to attend, contacting our widows, and the 2For program.

The Grand Master emphasized the importance of remembering why Masonry was founded - to take care of one another. All Masonic bodies charge dues to be able to work and exist, and each has enough left over for beginning a charitable effort. However, we must take care of our own first!

Grand Master Mollere spoke on being visible and the importance of showing non-Masons the good works we do. We spoke on being visible in our communities and the importance of media in helping spread pictures and articles about our good works.

Standing applause followed his remarks R.E.G.C. adjourned the Conclave until Sunday, for the installation of officers for 2015-2016.

Royal Arch Masons - Add 530 years to the common era. Thus: 2015 + 530 = 2545

Royal and Select Masters - Add 1000 years to the common era. Thus: 2015 + 1000 = 3015

Order of High Priesthood - Add 1913 years to the common era. Thus: 2015 + 1913 = 3928

Knights Templar - From the Christian era take 1118. Thus: 2015 - 1118 = 897
