    Introduction

    The Shrine has the Legion of Honor and there are National Sojourners throughout the world. Both predicate their membership on honorable service in the armed forces. Technically, anyone of any rank can join National Sojourners but that makes you an honorary member. I have difficulty finding...

    Introduction

    I see absolutely nothing political about the purpose statement, however I encourage you to look at the national website and explore it further. If it turns out something that you don't subscribe to them please do not seek membership. This Masonic organization has been active throughout the US...

    Military fraternization and masonry

    I have sat in lodge with all ranks and I always took rank off (when possible) of my uniform when I walked in that lodge room. Irregardless of UCMJ or rank, the bonds of Freemasonry always took priority and I have never had an issue with any rank above or below my own. We are brothers first and...

    Has this occurred?

    Freemasonry does indeed make good men better. If you are asking why it doesn't take bad men and make them better, well that's the role of organized religion not Freemasonry.

    Does Freemasonry accept Catholics?

    Brother Jraiford, I wish it was that simple.

    Does Freemasonry accept Catholics?

    I has a very similar experience. I had a brother from lodge ask me about becoming Catholic. He attended the RCIA classes as much as he could, he was a police officer at the time. When they found out that I was his sponsor they stopped all his sacraments until they received guidance. It was...

    Does Freemasonry accept Catholics?

    Flatworlder, I admit that it can be confusing and often times it is difficult to understand. While I am not the subject matter expert on this topic I can speak with some knowledge. Yes. Freemasonry takes Catholics. A Roman Catholic possesses all the requirements for membership in a Masonic...

    Introduction

    Brother Robbins, Reserve rank does indeed count. There is no difference in the eyes of National Sojourners. An ID card, or any document that shows that you achieved E-7 or higher would suffice. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions. Eric

    If you...

    When I cast my individual vote for a brother running for the South, I always look at their blue lodge activity. I want to see a brother that wasnt just active when he was in the chairs, but remains active in his lodge. I personally want a Grand Junior Warden that is dedicated and active in...

    Has this occurred?

    One would email the GLoTx and request a copy of the 2013 Fraternal Relations report.

    Has this occurred?

    I have read the 2013 Fraternal Relations Committee report and I would emphasize that everyone that is interested please request a copy and read it. It is well formatted and well thought out and concise.

    Has this occurred?

    Sir, You may have valid points on all your issues but you lose legitimacy when you call the Grand Master the "Grand Jokester". You should contact the committee chairman and ask for a copy of the report, then feel free to use as you may see fit. The report is free and available from the...
