Introduction
All of us like to learn new things and this page will hopefully give you some learning options, whether you are preparing for a meeting or an Exaltation, or you are catching up with Solomon or Craftcast over a cup of coffee.

The Learning and Development team is headed by E.Comp Alan Salsbury PPrGScE.
He is available to arrange for the delivery of a number of presentations to Lodges and Chapters, including the very popular ‘Talking Heads’ and ‘In Camera’

There are also a growing number of shorter papers, and these include:
A Journey into the Royal Arch
Wisdom – the Application of Knowledge?
Principals whence come you?
Initiation to Exaltation – the per ethos of freemasonry.

If you would like to arrange to arrange for a presentation, please contact alan.salsbury@btinternet.com , he will be pleased to help.

The Sojouners Readings
Many Chapters use these readings to enhance their Exaltation ceremonies. The readings introduce each of the three parts of the ceremony and help the candidate to immediately appreciate the Royal Arch experience. Despite the name, the readings do not have to be read by the Sojourners and so provide a great opportunity for junior Companions to be involved in the ceremony. A good way of using these readings is to deliver them as the candidate comes into the room at the start of each part of the ceremony. Download the readings HERE 

The Guide for a New Companion.
This great little booklet has written to help new Companions understand the Royal Arch so that they can enjoy the Order and everything that it has to offer. The booklet should be presented to each new Companion at their Exaltation Ceremony, and it can also be read online HERE https://devonshirehra.org.uk/documents/AGuideForANewCompanion.pdf

Solomon and Solomon Live
Solomon is a fantastic online resource and is the font of masonic knowledge. It has literally dozens of modules and papers covering all aspects of both the Craft and the Royal Arch, and it is easy to access and to use. Register here 

Solomon Live is a webinar platform. Hosted by Brodie Swain, (the Provincial Communications Officer for Worcester). The webinars are monthly and feature interviews with distinguished Brethren and Companions and covering a wide range of topics. View Here 

The Mysteries of the Royal Arch – YouTube is a great place to start. This interview was recorded in 2021and features the Most Excellent 3rd Grand Principal, Gareth Jones OBE.
