    I didn't think you had Provincial Stewards in America??

    questions brothers ask and answer in public?

    Same here! Although I know that some of our Scots brethren like to ask each other how old their Mothers are, with the answer being the Lodge's number apparently.

    Rosicrucians and Masonry

    During the late 18th and early 19th Centuries Freemasons (mainly in France at first) became interested in rosicrucian ideas and how they could interweave with Freemasonry and they wrote some degrees that are still practised today. Looking at the earliest known degree information from the 16th...

    Any lodge in Cleveland ?

    There are certain rules about international visiting that your Lodge Secretary will be able to tell you about. However, it is safe to say that you will have to prove that you are a member of one of the Lodges under the District Grand Lodge of the Lebanon under the Grand Lodge of Scotland before...

    Warm Fraternal Greetings Fellow Brethren

    Hi Darren, from Kent (a bit south of you).

    Initiation

    Because it has never been the practise of the Home Grand Lodges to have a "Chamber of Reflection".

    Propose new member to the lodge

    I'm surprised that no one mentioned that you should talk with your own Proposer and Seconder to find out what the rules of your Lodge are in this situation. As it does not necessarily follow that your Lodge, which according to your profile must be in Scotland, says that you must be a MM before...

    Greetings from a Brother-to-be in England, UK!

    I forgot to mention that there are also some bits and bobs downloadable from the Grand Lodge website such as: http://www.ugle.org.uk/images/files/UGLE_CORE_LEAFLET.pdf and http://www.ugle.org.uk/news-events/freemasonry-today

    Greetings from a Brother-to-be in England, UK!

    Hi and welcome. When asked this question I wouldn't normally recommend FFD to an English Candidate as it is very UScentric and can be quite misleading with regard to how things are done in England and Wales, especially when it talks about Rites and bodies that we don't have or that are managed...

    Interesting Custom Apron

    I agree it doesn't look very much like an apron. As well as the bits missing mentioned above the tassle effect going all the way around the edge makes it appear not to be a garment to wear as you would normally have tassles on the sides and bottom but not on the top edge. Obviously it isn't of...

    My first time visiting another Lodge

    Congrats on your Initiation and well done in getting to see an Initiation so quickly while it is still very fresh in you mind.

    Donation to the Lodge?

    I'd suggest that you might want to slow down a bit and start learning what "symbolism" means and how it works. That "G" could be made from plastic held together by gum and it would not detract from what it symbolises and to be honest what it symbolises has no need of being golden.
