Brothers, I recommend that you fill out some form or letter stating that you want a Masonic Service, who you want to officiate if available, who you want to give your masonic keepsakes such as coins, jewelry, and apron to. After you do this, give a copy to your family members and your...

Jeff, Feb 21st at Holland Lodge is correct. I'll check to see if there are any in your area during Tuesdays meeting. Glad to see you on the forum.

Here is the article where the Southern Baptist Convention 1993, had issues with Freemasons. Like I said it was a movement that got stopped, but what if it didn't? http://www.cephasministry.com/baptists_masonic_differences.html

Here are some videos of each. I'm not a Scottish Rite, but I am a York Rite. I know the SR festivals are held at the SR Temple in Galveston similar to that mentioned in an earlier posting. As a York Rite, I chose it because it is a continuation of the Blue Lodge and the atmosphere feels much...

Something like this is great and once it grows to some degree and interest, should be taken over by the Grand Lodge History Committee and the Internet Committee. With due credit to Melrose 1294. The History committee could include some basic information about the Brother, if known, such as the...

I disagree. If you start to bypass the Blue Lodge as a requirement, your decline in the Blue Lodge will decrease more. At one time it was a requirement to be a member of the Scottish Rite or York Rite bodies to become a member of the Shriners. If you remove the Blue Lodge Requirement, then I...

You can have two per calendar year, and all monies must be applied to a charitable goal, such as scholarships. No proceeds can be used in any way towards the operating cost of the Lodge. Another rule is the object being raffled must be owned by the person or group holding the raffle. One...

What were the reasons behind the severed ties with the Shrine?
