RA Archive

Learning & Development now a joint resource for the Craft and Royal Arch

The Learning & Development team are delighted to announce that we have had approval from the R.W. Provincial Grand Master and the M.E. Grand Superintendent to make the L&D team a joint resource for the Craft and RA in South Wales, led jointly by E.Comp. Simon Daniel, PPrGStdB, Provincial L&D Lead for the Royal Arch, and W.Bro. Merrick Jones, PAGPurs, Provincial Grand Orator for the Craft. This means the team will be able to extend the provision and facilitation of presentations, events and masonic research to the Royal Arch Chapters across the Province. As such, we are also delighted to welcome six Companions to the team to support this important work. You will shortly be able to read more about this development and meet the new team members at progress.swmason.com.

We believe this step forward will further enhance the profile of masonic learning & development in our Province and only further strengthen the link between the Royal Arch and the Craft.
