    This paper is written from the perspective of a Prince Hall Freemason and relates primarily to Prince Hall lodges, which on the whole are typically smaller, especially in a rural area.

    MASONIC GROWTH A Seminar Presented to The Phylaxis Society on March 22, 2002

    WRITTEN BY JOHN B. WILLIAMS, FPS In the essay that follows, I make the point that the essential work of a Grand Lodge is to encourage men to congregate as Masons, and the essential work of a lodge is to take good men and make them better. From these simple acts proceed all the good works...

    not exactly sure what a TOL is

    Question: is it not at the Grand Master's discretion to issue a dispensation for the purpose you have commented on? I suspect that if a sound plan is put together and presented, that your Grand Master may seriously consider it. I seem to recall several dormant lodges being revived under the...

    Across The Atlantic, Masonic History In The Making

    I told myself I was not going to proffer any opinion on this topic, but something inside keeps nagging me that I should. In my travels as a Freemason, I ended up becoming a member of the Grand Lodge of Texas. I held membership there from October 2000 until October 2011. What I found while...

    Prince Hall Brother Elected SW (South Carolina)

    Though the title of this thread indicates PHA South Carolina, these lodges are not in South Carolina nor warranted under either "Regular" Grand Lodge i.e. PHA or mainstream. If these are in Connecticut [as I suspect], the two GL's there do allow dual memberships within that jurisdiction...

    Past Master collar with 3 inch jewel

    In older books and regualtions I have read on the fraternity, a PM jewel was exactly that, a jewel that a PM could wear with a collar or pinned to his left breast as a mark of distinction within the fraternity. These two papers were written from two different perspectives...

    Proposed Resolutions for 2013!

    For a number of years, various types of aprons with blue trim were used. I recall that a noticeable movement back to plain white aprons started in the mid 1990's. That was what caused me to design my aprons the way I did --- white lambskin, white ribbon trim & white silk embroidery on the...

    Grand Master of Florida Bans Certain Religions

    I recall that in the Grand Lodge of Texas, that a [VSL] Volume of Sacred Law is placed on the altar, and that VSL is not restricted ONLY to the Holy Bible in use by Christians. That is the only point I AM seeking to make with my comment.
