Brothers I had been working on a book for sometime. I believe its unique in that it offers a practical application of typological communication and gives examples of how to overcome common obstacles in Masonry. In addition, it provides the source for these teachings within our own rituals...

Thank you Brothers

He was a Jew. She was a divorced Catholic. He converted for her, but in early 1920’s, enough was enough. She was excommunicated from the church, denied heaven, and he was never considered for membership. They raised a son together, both loved God, neither remained religious. It...

Brother can tell me the originator of the work so I can ask for written permission to use this piece?

Tim is a good friend of mine and I assure you that you will enjoy the presentation....its easy to practice Masonry when we do not challenge ourselves... :-) You might be surprised and how much operative alchemical language was inserted in Masonic ritual by Enlightenment Era Europeans. Tim's...

Brothers the time is at hand not to talk about Masonry, but to engage in it, to progress it, to assist it, to assist one another in this journey of progression. This event is the one event I can truly say is not just an intellectual exercise or series of introductions. It is Masonry in action...

Hey a really cool opportunity for Texas Masons. I didn't see anyone else post this, so even though I am a Colorado guy...I thought I would.

Prax I am not certain you read my post. I think it is a bit of read hearing to go from serving more than one term as Master to "dictator." There is still an election every year. Why is voting a unqualified man in because the custom is to remove the qualified man better? I think we will...

No, Brother I don't think so. I think that "hanging in there" isn't enough. I think we should thoughtfully appointment men to the line and unappointment them based on strengths and weaknesses. Keep officers where they are at for awhile if they do a good job. RWB Karl, the man who was Master...

http://www.therelevantmason.blogspot.com/ Peace and harmony prevailing....a Masonic mantra if there ever was one. We say as part of our opening in Preston-Webb lodges that we would like to ensure that we not part unless things are harmonious. We quote from scripture and provide Master Masons...

May 4th is the deadline for a truly historical event in Masonry and its Texas backyard. Your neighbor is running a symposium in which the Grand Consistory and the SJ will be together for the first time in hundreds of years... Big name speakers, etc.. REGISTER asap....I look forward to...

I would like to recommend Jim Tresner's "The Man Behind the Monument" in which WB Tresner allows Pike to explain Pike...very cool stuff.

Its important to note, that although Brother Francis Bacon edited the Bible, I think it is fair to say that More played a huge role. I was raised Lutheran and we learn the story of the Protestant Reformation in catechism. More, killed several Lutherans and specifically wared against the...

Several versions. The NASB remains my fav.

Minutes are generally only those things that are "proper to be written". My point being is that there are two competing rules. Prepare a separate document signed by the defacto president (the worshipful master) or what have you and turn them in. There is no other corporation in the world...

This is a perfect example of how too many rules conflict and there is functionally no rule. How about this: Minutes of the lodge are the property of the lodge and may be used as the lodge, by vote, deems appropriate.

Please come and share. We would love to have you. We can usually find host homes for Brothers that come to visit from out of town.

There isn't much that isn't immoral, unjust, or unfair that wouldn't be a "violation" in the truest sense. But how about pulling him aside and talking with him. It is also a violation of our obligations not to whisper wise counsel, ward of danger, and assist in his reformation if we can...
