I have heard that IOOF is patterned after our own fraternity with similar traditions and teachings. However I am not well versed on the group as I am not a member. I think that any fraternity that does good works for the world is a worthwhile cause (within reason).
Can anyone verify this for me please?.
News to me, Brother.
Now that gets everybody's curiousty up.. !
yes they would, in most cases at least here in the US the Masons and Odd Fellows parallelled closely to each other. The Odd Fellows in most cases were the first ones to begin buildings and owning their own buildings which were called Halls. The masons many times rented space from them, many new masonic lodges were formed in Odd Fellow halls. Of course at times the Odd Fellows rented from the Masons. In Everett Ma. there is a Masonic Lodge that still rents from the Odd Fellows, they use the same type of lodge set up, with just a few changes.Brother,
I read somewhere that IOOF would rent the lodge to/from the Masons.
