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...
My good hand and fingers are in a cast, so excuse the shortness of this, but will try to hit the big ones if that's cool and will give you my number via PM as voice is way easier for me. Also my skype name is ichermes and I will be on skype while in Istanbul the next few days.
I will start...
Brother it boils down to perception:
GODISNOWHERE
About half read GOD IS NOW HERE the other group read GOD IS NOWHERE

I LOVE this book. Difficult schmifficult I...
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...
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...
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...
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...
