To be a member of a Provincial Grand Lodge or a Saint Andrew s Lodge, does a brother have to maintain membership in a lodge of the lower degrees?
Members don’t, as a rule, remain members of a St. John Lodge when they move on to the St. Andrew Lodge. In the Swedish Rite, the whole Order is considered an integrated system. When a Master Mason is elevated to the IV/V degree, a “letter of transport” is sent to the St Andrew s Lodge of his choice. in Sweden he ceases to be a member of his Craft Lodge and pays all dues to the St Andrew s Lodge. The same thing happens on passage from St Andrews to Chapter Lodge. This is not international standard. In Norway, Denmark and Iceland a member continues to be a member of his “mother lodge”, the St. John lodge he originally entered.
