Note: If you are interested in the Mortar & Pestle degree to exemplify as a Fundraising or Masonic educational event, or just want more information contact Paul Scheeler (scheeler33@msn.com). You can also find the degree and a paper about its history published in the most recent edition of Heredom, The Journal of the Scottish Rite Research Society. If you are not a member of the SRRS, you're crazy! Seriously though, the SRRS is one of the best deals going in Masonic scholarship. For $30 a year you get the excellent Heredom and a bonus book. And it is all top-notch, well-researched stuff.
