Mrs Judy Baker was my point of contact for the registration desk. The last several years the GLOT website has posted a POC for assistant tilers so just look for that as you get close to December. Thank you for the interest.

For discussion: GLOT requires Art 18.4.A Acknowledgement of a belief in God the Father of all men. Does that preclude any polytheistic religion since God is specifically singular in this statement? Does that specifically exclude agnosticism since we require a "firm belief in the existence of...

Brethren, Just wanted to put out a public service announcement for those brethren that are looking for ways to be more involved with the Grand Lodge. If you are looking to meet other members and learn alot about Grand Lodge then consider volunteering at Grand Lodge as an assistant tiler or...

Greetings from a brother Kentucky mason. My mother lodge is Vine Grove 603, currently serving with San Gabriel 89 in Georgetown Texas.

Grand lodge laws are available on CD and those include the changes. Id post them here but not sure if thats proper.

Regarding Resolution 26: What is the esoteric significance of the differing arrangements of the lesser lights? I may be more inclined to vote favorably if there was a reason for the arrangements. ESS

Best way to gain legitimacy in the argument. Thank you

I think whatever we as a Grand Lodge decide to do, we should constantly work in unison with the Prince Hall Grand Lodge. It always sounds unilateral on this board but I dont hear alot in any forum about Prince Hall wanting intervisitation. Are we forcing the issue? I am a plural member in...

Great discussion about the K of C and Freemasonry. As a practicing and baptized Catholic I have a unique perspective on both along with the conflicts between the Roman Catholic Church in my area and my blue lodge. Too lengthy to provide all the details but since October 2010 it has been a...

Brother Porter, Perfect article to read as I struggle with my deeply rooted Catholicism and my dedicated and committed Masonic heritage. I dont have a personal struggle but apparently other do and that is the fight I find myself in. Thanks Eric

I am Catholic and I think its great also.

JEbeling, Its actually illegal for an EA to have one and its illegal for some to teach from one to an EA or FC.

I am fairly certain that any religion, mainstream or otherwise, has its failings and its blessing. Not entirely sure any single church or denomination has the 100% solutions. As a lifelong Catholic I can vouch that my church does NOT possess all the answers. I am strong enough in my faith that...

I have always thought that the lode\ge should always be the priority. If a lodge was meeting anywhere close by thats where you belong. I also acknowledge that with schedules at school being so tight and you may not have the time to attend, just socializing with a Square & Compass clun beats...

JWHOFF, I can only speak from my own experiences. I am an active and dedicated member of the local Catholic parish here. Starting in October 2010, I have received numerous phone calls from priests and fellow parishoners concerning my Masonic affiliations. The previous parish priest called me...

Try wearing a square and compass to a Catholic function. That gets some cold looks and you get labelled a heretic.

If there is one place that will make you feel welcome despite no common membership, it will be a Masonic lodge. I think its great that you are going and I hope you make enough friends that you will feel like a part of the family. ESS

Sorry if this is a repeat but its pretty interesting if you enjoy Texas history. These are the leaders of Texas throughout our history as a nation and state that were Freemasons. Texas Leaders Presidents of the Republic of Texas David G. Burnet President 1836, Lorenzo DeZavala Vice President...

I had seen a book on the topic of grand lodge regalia so as I was googling it I stumbled on that video. I thought it was amazing at the symbolism and thought process that goes it to the aprons. I was also inspired by going to grand lodge and seeing the various grand lodge aprons and I wanted...

Thank you. Im just glad that it was so interesting to you and the others. ESS
