    The Shrine has now been "de-recognized" in Arkansas

    So far, I believe this affair has spanned three GM's. I know the second to be a very intelligent man and mason...a credit to mansonry in general. I wouldn't second guess him...I doubt I'm that wise.

    The Shrine has now been "de-recognized" in Arkansas

    Suppose a Mason in your jurisdiction violated a masonic law (any masonic law) and was charged and found guilty. Whether suspended or expelled, isn't the Shrine supposed to follow suit and suspend or expel him as well? Even if the guilty one happens to be the current Potentate? What if they...

    Bro. George Washington's Apron

    A lot of masons visit Washington DC and want to see the House of the Temple there, but the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is every bit as good a tour and thought by many to be better. I was blown away when I visited. Its in Philadelphia. Not only is Bro. Washington's apron there but so is Bro...

    The Grand Master's decisions are audited but only at the end of his term (in Arkansas). BTW we are not forbidden to drink only production and sale is banned. Unfortunately that extends to route salesmen and at one time it applied to young men working as waiters in restaurants etc. As I said, its...

    The Shrine has now been "de-recognized" in Arkansas

    Hi Michael, Yeah, I am/was a shriner before all this started and even though I am an Arkansas Mason at large in NC, I am bound by the Grand Masters edict. Frankly, our ban on liquor production or sale has been a pain in Arkansas Masonry's neck for a long time, but it is the law in Arkansas and...

    The Shrine has now been "de-recognized" in Arkansas

    This story does not gibe with the account given by the Grand Master of Arkansas. I have known several Arkansas Grand Masters quite well and all seemed quite dedicated to freemasonry to the exclusion of practially all else (their families may have taken precedent). In addition, they have all been...

    Has anyone heard about this?

    Arkansas Grand Lodge law forbids ownership of liquor stores or even working an occupation selling it (ie: Beer distributorships etc). The local Potentate was violating this masonic law and was expelled from Masonry as a result (after a trial). All appendant bodies were notified and each in turn...
