The Royal Black Institution
Malcolm McClughan is a former Royal Black Lecturer. Being so, he was required to memorize all the Black degrees up until the Red Cross degree. He also lectured in the final Grand Charge. He left the Royal Black Institution on biblical grounds a numbers of years ago.
As a lecturer in the Royal Black Institution, I thought it was important to study the Scriptures connected to the degrees. You can imagine my surprise, when I found that some of the things quoted in the degrees were not to be found in the Bible.
I asked my fellow lecturers and Church Ministers who held senior office, trying to establish where these unscriptural parts of the degrees came from. Their answer was to tell me that it was true, these parts were not in the Bible, but not to worry about where they came from, as they were a traditional part of the degrees.
