I'm curious, because it's part of my heritage and one of the men who sponsored my candidacy was also a member of my Parish--as were several other members of my Parish including our Chaplain.
I had an interesting conversation with a Brother/Companion the other day who was actually under the impression that like Roman Catholics, Episcopalians/Anglicans were discouraged from becoming Freemasons. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth when it comes to Anglicanism, and a look at the House of Windsor (and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) not to mention a number of Presidents of the United States give the lie to this myth.
Lots of priests and bishops and deacons in the ECUSA are Masons. Lots of Anglicans around the world are as well, including in Great Britain.
Am I the lone Episcopalian who is also a Mason here? I'd appreciate your thoughts.
