Where can we learn more about the Master Craftsman Program?

It's easy Noble, just do an internet search for e-bay then when you are on e-bays webpage do a search for "shriner rings" and you'll get plenty of results. E-bay has items that you place bids on but there are also many items that you can just buy out right. Just follow the links and...

Jerry I'd go to e-bay because you can pick up really nice fraternal jewelry there and not have to pay the big price for it.

I would really like to join the Grotto especially because they do so much for Special Needs children. I'm proud to be a member of the OES, Scottish Rite, York Rite and Shrine but next to Blue Lodge it's the York Rite for me.

I am a member of Texas Lodge #8 and can attest to the fact that Bluebonnet started meeting in our building in about the mid 90s.

I wear my Masonic ring most of the time but every once in a while I'll wear my OddFellow ring.

Leave the elitism to the Country Club, they can have the doctors and lawyers and all of their money and prestige, Masonry is about taking good men and making them better whether they be a corporate executive or a street sweeper. I don't believe that a high powered college degree or a big bank...

We are elite in the sense that we are composed of basically good moral men with high ideals and it doesn't matter whether that man is a carpenter, a doctor, lawyer, or auto mechanic. I am proud to be a member of an organization that looks at the internal and not the external an organization...

I read it twice and get the impression that we recognize each other as Brother Masons but restrict visitation between lodges. I see nothing in this compact that would restrict individual Brothers from recognizing each other. Prior to reading this I was under the impression that if a Prince...

Re: Your Prediction: Texas Freemasonry in 5-10 Years I believe that the reason you see "a sea of grayheads" at Grand Lodge is because we younger Masons are busy raising families and providing for them. I'd be willing to bet that if we travelled back in time to say 1950 we would have seen a sea...
