I read that you indicated this copy was difficult to obtain. My first concern is why it would be difficult to obtain? Should not members of any given Grand Lodge be able to obtain information that affects the GL you hold membership in??? Was there some particular reason that the entire...

SECURITY BREECH Be advised....Brethren…Be on the lookout for a suspended Mason that goes by the name of YOHANCE WILFRED JOHNSON. This guy was a Prince Hall Mason, seemingly out of Key West Lodge #257 in Wichita Falls, Texas. He is in the Houston area attempting to go to Lodge...

In my many visits I once was examined by a Tyler, who for some strange reason placed his sword on the floor (so that I could walk the sword while reciting the Tyler's Oath). I recited the Tyler's Oath while walking the sword, and when finished reached down and picked the sword up in the manner...

Greetings & welcome! Look forward to hearing from you again

Our annual convention is held in March on the weekend closest to March 6th, the anniversary of the initiation of Prince Hall and fourteen other men of color to become the first African-American Masons in America. This years convention will be held in Jackson, MS. All members and fellows of...

Yes my brother, Shrine has tried to drop the Masonic requirement for membership. It hasn't passed yet but I do understand that Shrine HQ would like to sever their connection if possible. I have heard this come up multiple times since 2005. Though I could see numbers rising in Shrine if they...
