    The Term "Obedience" as Applied to "Masonic" Groups

    Many experienced masons use the word. I use the term and I’m considered a regular Mason by your grand lodges. I’m happy to provide the names of senior masons in both who will vouch for me.

    Duties of the Worthy Patron?

    Since it is an eight year old post and since there are errors, it likely is not helpful. The Worthy Patron assists in the chapter, not the lodge.

    Esoteric Masonry

    Opinions are subject to criticism as part of independent thought. If one is not willing to accept that social reality, a blog is the better option. Please note that we did not reject his views out of hand. He was asked for citations. Our opinions as to provocation differ as his response to the...

    Recognition between Grand Chapters

    As you bring up a new matter, allow me to delay my departure. Actually, I am aware of the two, as one who consults on such in that country (and others). You stated that your GC is not part of GOI, so GOI is irrelevant to the matter. Having been founded by General Grand Chapter does not mean a...

    The legend of hiram abiff

    Hiram was still dead. Christ was and is alive. As noted by John Nagy, we know Hiram is dead because the word of a mason was lost. If he was not dead, the word would not be lost. Similarly, Hiram‘s body was raised for the purpose of reburial. Christ’s body was not. Hiram’s body was raised by...
