Today, we remember with great respect and affection Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the fourth anniversary of her passing.

For seventy years, Her Majesty served the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with an unwavering sense of duty, dignity and devotion. Throughout a lifetime of extraordinary public service, she remained a constant and reassuring presence through generations of change.

As we remember her today, we reflect upon a remarkable life of service and the lasting legacy she leaves behind.

The Right Worthy County Grand Master, Executive and Members of the County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow join with people across the United Kingdom and Commonwealth in remembering Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

A message to our membership as we enter our election period by Bro. Rev. Jason Lingiah.

The month of September heralds in the election cycle for the Orange Institution in Scotland. Often, we end of filling offices by just seeing who can be cajoled into taking positions. However, as our Lodges within our twenty Districts in Glasgow moving towards elections in September, and also for District Lodges in October, we should think more strategically about this.

Questions we may wish to ask are:

How can we encourage younger members to take office?

Are we willing to support Sisters and Brothers in the offices to which they have been elected and installed into?

Are we willing to led by our leaders, and are we encouraging them to lead?

How can we ensure succession planning in our Lodges?

Are we willing to address the issues in our Lodges now, or do we kick them into the long grass?

There is also a time to recognise when it is time to stand down from office.

For those who don’t hold office any more, are we willing to encourage and practically help?

It is a great honour, privilege and responsibility to don an office-bearers collarette and to make our mark in our Lodges. But there is another dimension that is oft forgotten. We are a fraternity, and a Christian fraternity. Therefore, we are looking at leadership and servanthood from a Christian perspective.

In the Scriptures, in Matthew 20:26–28 – Jesus teaches that true greatness comes from serving others rather than seeking power. In terms of accountability and guidance: Hebrews 13:17 reminds us that leaders watch over souls and will give an account to God. We are lead with care and humility (1 Peter 5:2–3) and to care for our members willingly and eagerly, not lording over them, but by being examples.

In 1 Samuel 13:14 we learn that King David was said to be a man after God’s own heart. As Christians, in whatever position of authority or otherwise, we are called to be men and women after God’s our heart, especially those elected into office. Therefore, we are looking for leaders who are seeking God’s will and way in their lives, who want to turn from sin and live for Jesus, who are regular attenders of evangelical church, and seeking, despite often failing, to lead with Christian values.

Message from the Most Worthy Grand Master

As we enter another Lodge election season, I want to recognise the Sisters and Brethren who have carried responsibility within our Lodges over the past year. Holding office is a commitment of both time and service, often carried out quietly and without recognition. To everyone who has served, thank you for the part you have played in supporting your Lodge and our wider Institution.

The strength of the Loyal Orange Institution begins at Private Lodge level. Strong Lodges, guided by good leadership, provide the foundation upon which our Districts, Counties and the Institution as a whole can continue to grow and prosper. Our Lodge elections are therefore about more than filling positions. They are an opportunity to choose those who will lead with integrity, encourage their members, uphold the principles of our Institution and help bring people together.

To those who will be taking on office, I offer my sincere congratulations and best wishes. Leadership brings responsibility, but it also brings an opportunity to make a positive difference to the life of your Lodge and to those who belong to it. I encourage every office bearer to work together, listen to their members and remember that we are strongest when we stand together in unity.

Whatever position we hold, each of us has a part to play. By supporting one another and working together with a common purpose, we can ensure that our Lodges remain strong and that the Loyal Orange Institution continues to move forward with confidence.

May God guide all those who take on responsibility in the year ahead, and may He continue to bless our Lodges, our members and the Loyal Orange Institution of Scotland.

Bro. Andrew Murray
Most Worthy Grand Master

🏛️ Protecting Our Halls

Port Glasgow and Bridgeton Orange Halls have both taken practical steps to improve security with new CCTV systems following incidents at their properties.
Both projects were also delivered by a contractor with strong links to the Institution, highlighting the skills and expertise within our own membership.
