Hi Brothers,
I was sitting with a few brethren in my lodge and the discussion of 'attending church' came up over an experience one of us had while visiting a hospital recently.
We had a laugh when Bill (a member of our lodge) spoke to us about how some random stranger walked past him and accused him of being a 'devil worshipper' (because he was wearing our Lodge Belt Buckle with a 'square & compass' ), the conversation turned into a conversation regarding 'knowledge' and 'wisdom' and...."going to church".
Bill ended the converstation with a snide remark about attending church. Something to the affect of..." well not everyone here attends church so I should be a 'good christian' and stop talking bad about other people" (knowing good and well I was the only one there whom doesn't attend church service of any sort).
I may not attend 'church' (due to past negative experiences) but since when is 'attending church' a requirement for 'mutual respect' amongst Masons?
