    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.

    Amity or Recognition

    UGLE did not grant a charter in 1996. Some jurisdictions also require a belief in the immortality of the soul. Having dealt with recognition issues, I am unaware of ritual differences and practices within a lodge ever being a recognition barrier. Citation? It is not my experience that all...

    Imperial Session Call 2014

    The Call for the Annual Session should be in your recorder's office. The following descriptions are taken from the Jurisprudence note, but any error is mine. Amongst items on you will wish to give input to your representatives: 1. A member in good standing of the Colorado Corporation...

    France's return to the fold.

    As indicated, the leadership has changed and the organization is no longer under the control of the appointed government administrator. This was a difficult period for my GLNF brethren, and we should be very happy this is beginning to turn around. There will still need to be rapprochement...

    What is 'clandestine'?

    A Temple was chartered for Europe. We carved out England from the jurisdiction. See http://emiratshriners.org. The UK Shrine Club is still extant with clubs at Lakenheath/Mildenhall (Anglia), London and Dartford. You can find them at aahmes.org clubs, United Kingdom.

    What is 'clandestine'?

    Belated correction: we do have the Shrine in England. I came down and helped with a ceremonial at the Russell Hotel. The summation is not entirely accurate. I was on the Committee which heard the appeal of the Shriner.

    Am i wrong?

    That's a disappointment to you I'm sure. It is good you found out at an early stage and can still look forward to a long life in the craft.

    Study techniques

    Utah has two copies of the clear text: one in the safe and one with the Grand Lecturer (custodian of the work).

    France's return to the fold.

    That was an unsuccessful attempt to post an image of the Home GL's letter on the subject.

    FC coming up.

    I'd encourage a review of the charge of this degree. As it was once the final degree, I the charge sums up my view of the craft.
