	Grand College of Rites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Grand College of Rites is a Masonic organization dedicated to the collection and publication of various ritual texts from both Masonic ritual not currently used in the United States, and non-Masonic rituals used by other fraternities and societies of a ritualistic nature who generally keep their rituals private.
		The Grand College of Rites has as one of its stated purposes the prevention, within the larger community of Freemasonry, of the revival or usage of any rituals that are not currently in use in the United States.
		Some Scottish Rite Masons regard the Grand College's policy of suppression of these rituals as being at variance with the principles of intellectual liberty and freedom of conscience expressed in the Scottish Rite Creed.

		Ancient and Primitive Rite of Masonry, derived through the Charter of the Sovereign Sanctuary of America, from the Grand Council of the Grand Lodge of France.
		In 1872 a Sovereign Sanctuary of the Rite was established in England, by the American Grand Body, with John Yarker as Grand Master.
		That an American Rite, thus spuriously organized, declines to acknowledge the Patent of an English Sovereign Sanctuary, duly recognized by the Grand Orient of France, does not at all invalidate my claim to Masonic honours.
