York Rite Masonry further explains the degrees of the Craft Lodge, rediscovers the Lost word and increases knowledge of Freemasonry.  One does not have to wait for an invitation to petition the York Rite; the door is open.  No memory work is necessary to make application or advance through the degrees and orders of the York rite.  Membership in the Chapter is required to advance throught Council Degrees; Membership in Chapter and Council is a prerequisite for the Commandry of Knights Templar.
