    Re: Traditional observance lodges are they good fo I agree with you Brother, and would add that the chief "aspect of difference" apart from mode of dress, but be one of reverence and solemnity. There is plenty of time in our lives - and in the collation room post-meeting - for levity and...

    One thing Freemasonry has lead me to believe and or do??

    If it's true that it is not wrong to say so! In my case, my studies have led me to view Christianity in much less of a "main-stream" way; I would now describe myself a "Christian mystic."

    The Two Pillars of Masonry

    Brother, here is something of interest: occasionally in Masonic icnography, you will find the first letter of the name of each pillar (so yud in the case of Jachin and beth in the case of Boaz) on the respective pillar. If you combine those two characters - yud and beth - you arrive at the...

    The Society for Masonic Research

    Thank you Brother. I must here also say that a resume/CV need not be packed with Masonic accomplishments. The chief factor in consideration will be if the work is original and important; also, for an awardee to receive subsequent grants in the future, the work published must comport to the...

    The Society for Masonic Research

    Beyond the basics (name, address, etc.), short CV/resume, a write-up of the proposed research, emphasizing what about it is new and/or important, the amount sought, detailed line-item budget of anticipated expenses, etc. Also, the research must culminate in a published work, and that work...

    Concerning the 24" Gauge

    Brethren: "The Middle Pillar may perhaps be likened to the inexpressibly keen edge of a blade atop which opposite forces meet. Here, Severity meets Mercy and their balanced interplay results in Justice. Here is the point at which hard transmutes into... soft. Here is the preternatural point at...

    Is Masonry "guilty" of teaching toleration?

    In response to Brother Maloney's post ("If this is truly the doctrine of Masonry, then I cannot remain a Mason. If it is truly the doctrine that I must embrace the doctrines of all religions and reject Christ's unique status as the sole Savior.") My Brother, the gist of Hall's statement...
