The Grand Priory
The local activities of the Grand Priory are carried out through regional Preceptories.
A Preceptory is a local unit of at least four full members of the Order, usually defined by appropriate borough, district, county or regional boundaries within the territory of the Grand Priory.
A Preceptory is headed by a Preceptor, elected by a simple majority of the subscribing members of the Preceptory, and confirmed in office by the General Assembly of the Grand Priory. The subscribing members of the Preceptory may elect individuals to such offices on the Preceptory Chapter, modelled on the offices of the Grand Priory Chapter, as may be required for the administration of the Preceptory.
A Preceptory may adopt such local by-laws as are necessary to govern its affairs, providing that they do not conflict with the Constitution of the Grand Priory.
