Eligibility: Active Grand Lodge members currently studying the monographs for the First Temple Degree (or higher) are eligible to receive this Initiation. (Note: The twelve Temple Degree initiations must be taken in order in an AMORC Lodge beginning with this one -- the First Temple Degree.)

PRE-REGISTRATION: To pre-register as a Candidate for this Degree, please contact the Lodge Secretary at atlantislodge.usa@gmail.com. Be sure to include (1) your full name, (2) your AMORC Key number, (3) a statement of the Temple Degree you are seeking, (4) your preferred telephone number, and (5) your preferred email address. We will respond with further details.

Please be aware that we cannot accept unregistered walk-ins on the day that the Degree is to be conferred.

Witnesses: Members of the Order who have already received the FIRST Temple Degree in an AMORC Lodge are encouraged to attend the Initiation as Witnesses. Remember to bring your membership and initiation credentials. Also, because our supply of loaner aprons is limited, we request that you bring your own Rosicrucian apron if you have one.

* Active AMORC members who are receiving monographs for the Third Atrium Degree or higher are invited to participate in the 10:00 AM Review Forum.

Covid Restrictions: Covid mask and vaccination restrictions are currently not in affect at Atlantis Lodge or in the District of Columbia. We are counting on one another to make prudent choices for the benefit of all.
