What are the qualifications required to become a Worshipful Master?
A candidate for the office of Worshipful Master must be a brother of good morals, skilled in the Art, true, and trusty 1. Under Craft constitutions, including those of the United Grand Lodge of England, no brother can be installed as Master of a private lodge unless he has previously been appointed or elected, and served, as a Warden of a regular lodge, except by special dispensation from the Grand Master.
Prior to his installation, the Master-elect is required to give his assent to the Ancient Charges and Regulations 1. As the United Grand Lodge of England specifies, these include promises to obey the moral law, preserve allegiance to Grand Lodge, practice caution, respect genuine brethren, and maintain the established groundwork of Masonry without innovation 1. Humility is likewise charged as an essential qualification for a new Master upon installation, as an article on the Grand Lodge of India's website notes.
