The 63rd Council of Deliberation Session for the Orient of the Bahamas was historic. The session, under the leadership of Sovereign Grand Inspector General Everette Z. Mackey, Deputy, as witnessed by Sovereign Grand Inspector General Robert Oglesby, Grand Minister of State, United Supreme Council, weas done in conjunction with the Loyal Ladies. This marked a first in the history of the Orient. Per Illustrious Mackey:
On this historic occasion as we celebrate and observe our 63rd and 1st Historic Council of Deliberation with our Loyal Ladies, it is indeed an honor to present this message. As a family we embrace this opportunity to thread new paths with our ladies. We have a great legacy as Scottish Rite Masons within the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, there were many great men who went before us, whose shoulders we stand on. They have blazed trails for us, and it is now up to us to continue to blaze better trails for others, who follow to expand on. As our scripture verse for this year is “ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven ”, I implore and encourage all of us to be the kind of light that others would like to emulate.
Striving to adhere to the teachings and tenants of our order, being ever mindful of our duties that we owe to God, our country and our fraternity. Much has been conveyed to us, and much is required of us. Let us all be mindful that He who sits high and looks low is always looking on us. Continue to do well and may God bless Scottish Rite Masonry within the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
May Gods ’ blessings continue to shine on the Orient of the Bahamas and may growth continue!!!
