Your obligation to Masonry dictates that you do not vouch for him at this time. Your obligation to your fellow man dictates that you do all within your cable tow to guide him on his path to light. That may mean being a good example, lifting him up with general positive words, having a frank...

Greetings brothers. I am currently in Florida and attend a fully integrated lodge (that is weird to even type). It seems that I might be moving to Marietta, outside of Atlanta. I remember the stories of racism in the SR, and I had heard that blue lodges are segregated... This is a pretty big...

Ess, Thanks so much! Just the info I was hoping for.

Brothers, I am in Maine for a week and would like to visit a lodge. Finding addresses is a little difficult. I'm in Waldoboro, so king solomon's #61 waldoboro maine is closest. I'm also near Rockland and Thomaston... Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Matt

I love the one showing "router..." because there are two other wifi's that reference a drummer in the building.

Chaplain for Duval 159

Born and raised a Tigers fan. Glad to have the Rangers doing well. Hope the Tigers can beat them tonight though.

Ok, do I will take up an opposing view... At 32 I had very little in common with myself at 20. Now, at nearly 37 I can fellowship with someone that is 25... Have a relationship with depth enough to form the foundation for a lifetime? I'm not sure. In the end, only you and God know your heart...

If I know there is a contention between two brothers in the lodge... better to go to each individually, or better to ask them to sit down with me? As an aside, these men are both in the craft a long time, much longer than me. Not sure if this makes a difference, but I am serving as Chaplin this...
