    MRF National Symposium Registration

    Still in a cast, but will do my best. I disagree that Masonic lodges must be the same to be fulfilling. In fact, the reverse, in my experience is true...just as the best meals feed all of the senses. I also think striving to assist lodges in achieving positive and effective programs is...

    The Traditional Observance Lodge Dennis V. Chornenky President Emeritus, Masonic Restoration Foundation While many Masons may have heard about European Concept lodges, which are themselves a relatively new concept in American Freemasonry, few have heard of the Traditional Observance lodge...

    MRF National Symposium Registration

    Brother it boils down to perception: GODISNOWHERE About half read GOD IS NOW HERE the other group read GOD IS NOWHERE Same letters, different way of looking at it. I was not part of the MRF when the name "Traditional" was picked but can tell you the traditional approach means one in which...

    Value Meal Masonry

    www.therelevantmason.com Almost eerie shadows bounced and danced their solemn dance to the candlelight casting its shadows and souls upon the walls of the lodge, the temple. The men moved in silence in a circumambulation around their altar. Dress in tailcoats, their hands gloved, the aprons of...

    Are we dying?

    Yes, the Masonry talked about by the standard "grumpy old Past Master" is dying. It is dying and will wither away soon. It should. Masonry is a progressive science. It grows and morphs as a reflection of its membership. It should. Within the degrees of the Craft we learn that for their to...

    Change Nobody Believes In

    Very true. My wife owns a small business and has for over a decade. She used to purchase her own health insurance, but it got to the point that they wanted 1,200 a month because she was labeled as a "possible child bearer"....like it is a bad condition to have. My mother is a church...

    A question of ethics.

    I think it is important to keep in mind that standards for a wife, mother, sister or daughter are different. I get what the man was saying, but reason and logic would dictate that we should simply govern ourselves accordingly. For instance, I would be ashamed to find my sister in the men's...

    Rosicrucian?

    In Colorado if you are AMORC you would not be invited. So it is the same here. We specifically ask if you are a member of any other Rosicrucian Order.

    A question of ethics.

    Incidently you can drink at lodge in Colorado and I have never seen it cause a single problem.

    A question of ethics.

    When we study Masonic jurisprudence we find that many of the laws and rules pertaining to drink were created post Morgan Affair in order to appease the Victorian Christian march upon the land. It was an apology in a way to say, "Hey look at us, we are should be liked by the church...please like...

    8 year old Suspended from School over Drawing of Jesus

    I wonder in reading it if the parents and teachers would have just talked if things wouldn't have worked out better....the good news is...lawyers are involved so everything will be fine soon :-)
