“Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.” -- Dalai Lama
Greetings from the East!
Sorores and Fratres,
We have had a full quarter with all activities restored to the Pronaos. My humble thanks to Fraters Ed Hanson and Bob Stanko for restarting the Book Salon and Degree Forum, respectively. The Degree Forum is working in the very beginning of the Orders’ lessons; so, I encourage newer members to attend and review them with us. Thank you to everyone who has already attended and shared your light. We continue to explore how to best restart the regional public topical presentations, hosted at our temple.
The COVID-19 situation is still not great. The new Omicron variant is spreading in Colorado. Adams County, where the temple is located, has reimposed the indoor masking requirement. Let us continue to visualize people acting with compassion and wisdom to take the actions necessary to most rapidly end this challenging time.
This quarter’s general discourses will cover laws and principles taught by the Order. On February 6th the Grand Councilor, Frater Bill Hallett will make his official annual visit with special message of Light for us. The New Year ceremony will happen at the Vernal Equinox. See the schedule in this newsletter for details. As always, I will also send reminders via email.
Wishing you all Peace Profound,
William Fickas, FRC Master Mountain Rose Pronaos, AMORC
