Conlegium Ritus Austeri NO. 779
Conlegium Ritus Austeri NO. 779
Conlegium Ritus Austeri #779 is the fruition of work by a number of Brethren throughout the state, derived from their common vision that the forms and ceremonies of Freemasonry, which have been handed down to us through a succession of ages, demand a very high level of respect. As such, this lodge has adopted a more formal and traditional approach to the business of Masonry. It is the first such lodge constituted in this jurisdiction.
As such, we place particular emphasis on the quality of Masonic ritual, and more particularly on Masonic education. We place a high value on the initiatory experience, and encourage our members to constantly grow and develop their minds and character, not only through ritual mastery, but through a lifelong study of the forms, history and symbolism of Freemasonry. In order to emphasize the solemnity and character of a lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, standard attire for the meetings of our lodge is formal evening dress (white tie, tails, white gloves). The dress code for visitors is, at a minimum, a dark suit and tie.
We received a dispensation from M.W.G.M. Jerry Hanson to form a new lodge in Nashville
Our charter was approved during the annual convocation of the Grand Lodge of Tennessee
Our lodge was consecrated, dedicated, and constituted by M.W.G.M. Dickie W. Johnson, alongside several Grand Lodge officers, in a rare ceremony not held in this state for over 25 years.
Meetings begin promptly at 3:00 PM with Silence and Circumspection starting at 2:30 PM
