The Order of The Allied Masonic Degrees was established in the Channel Islands on Saturday 20th May 2000 with the Consecration of both Councils by the M.W.Grand Master, Michael Edward Herbert and a team of Assisting Grand Officers, which included the Deputy Grand Master, R.W.Bro.Major James Stuart Peters and the Past Grand Master, M.W.Bro.Timothy J.Lewis. There were also 10 other active Grand Officers present.

The Order of the Allied Masonic Degrees was created in the late 1870's to give some cohesion to the various degrees that had originally been granted by the "Antients". The object of the original Constitutions as contained in Rule 1 was stated in the following terms: "In view of the rapid increase in Lodges of various Orders recognising no central authority and acknowledging no common form of government, a ruling body has been formed to take under its direction all Lodges of such various Orders in England and Wales and in the Colonies and Dependencies of the British Crown"

Between 1870 and 1931 there was much discussion as to which Orders fell under this new body, in particular Grand Council obtained control of a large group of Knight Templar Priest Degrees and also the Secret Monitor Degree from America. In 1923, following the formation of the Grand College of England of Holy Royal Arch Knight Templar Priests, Grand Council disclaimed all interest in such degrees; and after protracted discussions with the Grand Council of the Order of the Secret Monitor a treaty was signed in 1931 agreeing to cease the practice of the Secret Monitor degree under Grand Council jurisdiction.
