I use the term "We" loosely...it shall be "We" soon... :-)

Good catch! I must admit...the schoolboy in me is screaming for answers! But we are above that. That only makes this situation worse. I hope all goes well with the constituency that they are able to vote in the right Leadership--even if the "best qualified" had just been removed. Prayers to...

Seems to be the sentiment of folks I've been conversing with. So it is only Commandery? Or Cryptic also? I reckon if Cryptic is basd on the crypts of Enoch it would be applicable for Jews and Moslims both since both were prior to Jesus and Ishmael & Issac (respectively). Sound about right...

That made me think of another question I had. Can Faiths other than Christian participate in the Royal Arch Degrees? I ask because somebody had commented that all faiths can join Scottish Rite, but York Rite is restricted to Christians. Now, it was my understanding that Royal Arch was open to...

Looks like you just need an invite SRICF. Posting here with intelligent commentary is probably the best thing you could do... ;-) [Step 1: Complete]

Everyday is a learning day! Thank you very much for taking time to post in these forums. It has helped me repeatedly and I for one am very grateful for gentlemen like yourselves. Look forward to more reading...

Here is a link to a thread regarding the difference for PHA as well as mainstream. It is pretty thorough and very informative regarding the histories of both Prince Hall and mainstream Freemasonry in the United States...

This was all new to me so I had to do a little "Googling" to catch up. I found this post that really shed some light on the subject for me. I had a PHA Mason as a reference on my petition and he said that it may not be a good idea. I told him that I respected him and that if a Lodge I was...

Regarding the comments of Pike's character and involvement with (in modern society) unsavory organizations: I just finished reading "The Jefferson Lies" and one of his main points is that people take the figure and think of him in the present state of history. This takes the person out of...

I'm eyeballing this one. Presumptuous, I know...but at least I had the link for you ;-) It's Tungsten and only $50. I have a Tungsten-Carbide wedding ring. It's heavy, but great coloring. Great for everyday wear...

That's weak! May their punishment be commensurate with their crime...and more.

I'm always interested in anything you or Brother Vick write. Keep it coming!

That is a stunning ring!

I'm sold. Great perspective.

What style did you guys go with? Traditional with stone?

Dirty Dozen, Airwolf, and BasketBall (creators of South Park)...he's credited for over 200 movies on iMDB. Knew him as soon as I saw his picture. Another famous Mason that I had no idea was raised. Rest in peace.

I'm just curious...

Then you are in the same boat as me. I asked similar questions when I was researching the Craft while deployed in Baghdad. My ultimate conclusion is that it is entirely up to the individual what Light they receive. I expect that the "koinonia" enhances this relationship, as fellowship is only...

I bet that kind of thing happens pretty frequently...shame. Eric, you mentioned that you have a close friend that is a 32nd Degree SR Mason, you should probably seek more counsel from him or have dinner at the Lodge you are considering. That may be the best way to get your specific concerns...

Patience is a virtue that I learn in reluctance...but I guess the only way to learn is to learn. So, here I go!
