When in Texas do as Texans do and when in Germany do as you wish. The coat worn over the apron is an insult to the craft.

I am not for code books at all and have never seen a need for them. When entering into masonry there has always been and always will be the teachers,mentors who will take the time to teach a candidate his work.When the vote was taken in Grand Lodge to allow Master Masons to have possession of a...

Its a great place to see but be there early so you will have time to really take a good look. Takes a couple of days to see it all.
