    What does Freemasonry offer?

    May I relate a story to make the point? A number of years ago our youngest son was comatose with meningeal encephalitis. At the same time, our older son was being married in the temple of our faith. What does the parent do? With which son does the parents go? Or older son and his bride offered...

    Grand Lodge of the United States

    1. Grand Lodges jealously guard their sovereignty. 2. You think there are GL politics now? I have been involved in GL, national and international officer lines. I'm not sure we really want to go down that road with our GLs. 3. I can't really see anything to recommend it, either. We can...

    Philadelphia

    Cannot try that again? My dictation didn't go very well. I assume you mean Masonic sites as the others are well-known. Of course, the Grand Lodge building. I would also recommend the Athenaeum. I am affiliated with the Collegium Augustinianum which holds functions there.

    I assume you mean Masonic sites. Post the others are well known. Of course, the ground launch building. I would also recommend the Atheneum.

    Outburst in lodge!

    I believe I was JS when I saw a brother storm out of the room after a dispute. At the next meeting, the secretary read the minutes and indicated the lodge had closed, "peace and harmony prevailing." I wonder what Lodge he was attending.

    Does this really work?

    In some jurisdictions you are now allowed to inquire if someone would be interested in Freemasonry.

    Co-Masonry - Are they the same as non masons?

    It is still at the PGL of Sussex website. See http://www.sussexmasons.org.uk/about-freemasonry/women-and-freemasonry.html?eprivacy=1

    Co-Masonry - Are they the same as non masons?

    If you are referring to co-masonry, I don't get the mixed fraternity either (I've been an officer in a mixed fraternal order), but it doesn't bother me. I totally get feminine freemasonry, and even UGLE has indicated they are otherwise regular in practise. See http://www.hfaf.org/ugle.htm

    Co-Masonry - Are they the same as non masons?

    I It depends on the GL.

    After Balloting, how long does a candidate have to wait before initiation to first degree?

    You need to check with your Grand Lodge. Mine each differ both in time and in what proficiency is required to move to the next degree.

    The Petition Against Clandestine Freemasonry

    "I expect the Obama Administration, in accordance with the petition, to examine this issue. " I can't imagine this or any Administration would care one whit about this issue. I would also note the error in the petition's claim that all GL's must trace their origin to the 1717 English Grand...

    The Shriners Are In Town!

    Check the closing time tomorrow. Sessions will end by noon. I think there will only be one item of reconsidered legislation and the tyled installation.

    Your Ring

    I typically wear my 33rd ring and my signet ring. In my lapel I usually wear my pass grandmaster pin or my Red Cross of Constantine pin or my GKYCH pin, depending on the group.

    Grand Master

    Hmm. You use the term manipulate. I think that an important choice. It appears he is violating no rule, and the majority of the brethren agree with him. It appears you are "meeting on the level." I agree that a PGM has only an equal footing in the decisions of the lodge and, to that extent...

    Mason dating another masons widow

    I would say it's absolutely none of my concern.

    What is 'clandestine'?

    Well, based on the folks sitting in the East at PGL, English Freemasonry has a surfeit of side orders as well, many of the of recent origin or increased activity: Rosicrucian, Operatives, Athelstan, Acon, cryptic/Royal and Select, KT, HRAKTP, CBCS/Rectified Rite, OSM, AMD, Knight Masons, AAR...I...
