The origin of the New Zealand System of Royal Arch working is clear.
In 1892 the Supreme Grand Royal Arch Chapter of New Zealand adopted the Scottish working of Mark Master, Excellent Master and the Holy Royal Arch Degrees, a sequence which was established in Scotland in 1840.
Our Excellent Degree is therefore the one worked in Scotland of which few details were known before the standardisation of the Scottish Ritual in 1840.
