I am sure that since the founding of the Alliance in 1979 no President has sat down to write his Easter message in the circumstances, we find ourselves in at present.
In my own country of Scotland, we are in total lockdown with no one able to leave the house except for essential reasons and even our churches are closed to the public.
The Resurrection of Jesus from the dead that we celebrate on Easter Day and throughout the Easter season is for Christians the bedrock of our hope in Him. Because Jesus rose from the dead we too can hope for resurrection.
The Christian virtue of hope is not to be confused with optimism.
I never had the opportunity to meet Brother Virgil Dechant but a number of my predecessor Supreme Knights in the UK did.
Those who did know and meet him said was that he treated them and the SKs throughout the world as equal as Supreme Knights, irrespective of the individual country or jurisdiction.
It is with great sadness to announce the death of Brother Lawrence Past SK, Knights of Marshall and Past President of IACK.
The Late Sir Kt. Bro. Commander Lawrence Owusu Akyaw Prempeh was the Supreme Knight of the Knights of Marshall from 1995 to 1997 and also President of IACK in 1997.
