Frater Rosae Crucis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
F.R.C. or Frater Rosae Crucis is the title awarded to advanced members of the Rosicrucian Order. This title is awarded specifically to advanced members of the AMORC or Ancient Mystical Order Rosæ Crucis.
Through years of study the Rosicrucian who has progressed to this level is understood to be at the master level of understanding the teachings presented by this organization. For this reason, only those who have been formally initiated into the 10th Degree of the order are allowed to attach F.R.C. to their name.
This use of F.R.C. is similar in substance to those individuals who have successfully completed their study in graduate school and, thereby, are allowed to attach M.A. or Ph.D. to their name.
