What I find interesting about this whole thing is this, no provision in the Ancient Landmarks provide for partial recognition of a Mason. So if a GL is Regular and it recognizes another GL as regular, members may visit. This compact seems to be an imposition on our most ancient traditions.

I think the whole thing revolves around the rules and regulations. The way they saw it, gloves were not specifically allowed in the written law, so they said no without a second thought. It's an example of the type of thinking that is strangling this fraternity. GL law already allows for...

Even more, what have we lost? We think we're advanced now. But what if, in fact, we're a millenia behind due...

I think this reflects my experience of Masonry. It makes me a happier person, so I am more useful to my fellow man. How does it make me happy? It provides a trestleboard to follow in my personal labors to be the very best I can be. To achieve my personal best - intellectually, physically...
