Welcome to the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
Orient of Alabama
Valley of Birmingham
The Scottish Rite is one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry that a Master Mason may join for further exposure to the principles of Freemasonry.
In the United States the Scottish Rite is officially recognized by Grand Lodges as an extension of the degrees of Freemasonry. The Scottish Rite builds upon the ethical teachings and philosophy offered in the craft lodge, or blue lodge, through dramatic presentation of the individual degrees.
As personal Rep for the Birmingham Valley, I hope this website can be of assistance to you, our brethren.

JOINT STATEMENT PROMOTES VISITATION BETWEEN VALLEYS REGARDLESS OF JURISDICTION
As Sovereign Grand Commanders, we stand united in strongly encouraging our members, wheresoever
dispersed, to once again partake of opportunities to meet with their Brethren. We emphasize that the doors of
every Valley in both of our jurisdictions are open to Scottish Rite members in good standing, regardless of their
jurisdictional affiliation.
