Sovereign Order of the Knights Preceptor
The Sovereign Order of the Knights Preceptors is a "chair degree" for Knights Templar who are Present or Past Commanders in the state of New Jersey and other jurisdiction where used.
The State of Florida has an Order for their Past Commanders - Knight Crusader of the Cross. Knights Templar, who are Present or Past Commanders of a Floridian Commandery and have not taken this Order, please contact our Grand Recorder of the Grand Commandery of Florida for more information on this degree.
The Knight Crusader of the Cross is a "chair degree" conferred upon present or past Eminent Commanders of a Commandery. It is not used everywhere, but is gaining in popularity across the country. The degree originated in Florida in 1969 and spread North. Typically it is conferred at the same time as the state Grand Commandery meeting. The body is styled an Asylum, and has eight officers, the highest being the Knight Crusader of the East. The Induction Ceremony opens with three brief lectures on Masonic Templary and the duties of a Commander, followed by the arrangement of the candidates in a cross formation in the center of the Asylum, where they receive refreshment and are dubbed Knight Crusaders of the Cross. It concludes with a brief lecture on the ancient Knights Templar and an explanation of the Jerusalem Cross ,as well as the modes of recognition among Knight Crusaders.

The Structure of Freemasonry
The York Rite and the Scottish Rite are two different and independent ritualistic systems. Our Blue Lodge ritualistic system is based on the York Rite ritual.
