Jason, I assume you have been invited to functions by Freemasons ? Ask them about it.. .and of nothing happens... ask again in a few weeks again, then follow up in a few months. Keep gently following up. And as Warrior says, I am sure we can consider any questions you may have..

@Glen Cook is that correct, is the lodge a legal entity ? Can it sue ? A Grand Lodge (or something associated) usually is, a Hall Company (or something similar is), but can a Lodge which has no legal registration sue or would it need to be the individuals comprising the lodge ? However, as a...

I shall do so. And I am always telling people, ladders are dangerous things. I can't tell you how many tradespeople I know who have come off one to break heels and worse. They cause so many injuries, be super careful when you're on a ladder Brethren and if you're of an age where you will not...

I am the same, if I cannot get it virtually, I generally don't get it.

Without taking anything (much) away from the Original Poster, I note on his profile "Home Lodge:Self-Taught". @MorallyandMoral - that's not how it works. And seriously, I thought this was going to be a post about being overweight.. we do love out tucker us Freemasons. You only feel weight...

I became aware of this book by John Dickie via a History Podcast If you listen to podcasts and like history, the History Extra Podcast is great, search it in your podcast provider and the title of the specific podcast is "The story of the Freemasons" The text is here...

Bro Glen posted a news story on Freemasons helping feed people during COVID-19. It is here https://www.myfreemasonry.com/threads/st-columba-lodge-inverness.31039/ It has got me thinking about what we've been up to..... Some of my members have been helping on feeding the needy in the wider...

I have been telling people, esp Lodge Secs, that COVID-19 is a chance for Freemasonry to shine. Early in COVID, I heard of members dropping groceries to people who could not get them, recently, it's been visits to homes to show the tech challenged how to get on zoom... but Food. When times are...

Reading the replies, who has the responsibility for disseminating informality ? The GL, Lodge, or mentors and proposers or does indeed the responsibility rest with the newer Freemason, to take charge of your own Masonic Journey once a Master Mason ?

Thanks - interesting comments. Discussion on this has almost become akin to the same passion of extreme ideologies, but really, what's at work is math and the mysteries of nature and science unfolding. People seem to forget that its the scientific method which needs to be applied, not spin...

Welcome !

I agree that the stats and tests themselves are flawed. But think on this, something which has been around for decades "How accurate are home pregnancy tests? Many home pregnancy tests claim to be 99 percent accurate. However, home pregnancy tests differ in the ability to diagnose...

Greetings from Australia and welcome to the forum.

There are people who politicize the pandemic, let's not do that here, and if means not speaking about it, then let's not speak about it. We're all going to have different views and we either need to accept that not treat it masoncially like religion and politics. However, on a zoom call this...

Nit sure about the status of a Masonic Funeral or Cornerstone here, but our Grand Lodge opens in "Ample Form". I always wondered what that meant and found my answer in our Constitution; 92. Grand Lodge is declared open in ample form when the Grand Master or Pro Grand Master presides, in due...

Thanks Bro Glen Thanks for the quote from Mackey. The comment around Dermott made here https://freemasonry.bcy.ca/texts/masons_at_sight.html was interesting; "The form of the expression "making Masons at sight" is borrowed from Laurence Dermott, the Grand Secretary of the Atholl Grand Lodge...

Bro Glen. I would be grateful if you could define what in your opinion is "an occasional lodge". The first time I met the term is in relation to Freemasons meeting on the Goldfields in the 1850's ( a different time) here in Victoria to convey degrees. They did not have a warrant. They had no...

My first question is why ? (Like Bro Glen). Are you being driven by geography ? Would be better for your lodge to meet in a different location ? If not, then are the current owners not maintaining the building ? Is it falling apart ? If all "no", then why would you split resources ? (that's...

We meet once a month here :)

Didn't we have almost this exact same topic in the last 6 to 12 months (I cannot find the thread)..
