It wasn't until a couple of years ago that an EA or FC could sit in a stated meeting in Texas. Many Lodges still open only in Masters. Up to the WM. I can see both sides of the argument. Plus keep in mind the operative Masons only allowed Master Masons to travel.
I do not have a book in front of me but most of your questions are located inside the cover. It is considered an official publication of the GLoTX by another company out of Indiana (I think). You have to go to the Grand Lodge of Texas AF&AM page and there is fine print at the end of the list of...
The term "advertising" has such a conotation to it and make it seem like we are recruiting which we shouldn't. I think it would be better to use the term "educate." We can educate the public on Freemasonry much like this site does.
Just a reminder for anyone that would like to donate please do so by making a debit card, credit card, or electronic check at our lodge website.

Please choose the donate button and place "FC" in the comments so we know what the donation will be for.
But was this because of Perry or just the State not having a State Income Tax and businesses taking advantage of it? I am saying right place at the right time. I think Texas is great but could be better if we had a true leader. I don't know that any candidates as of now are the answer but I...

Are Texans really that narrow minded? I mean how many of these stories have to come out before we decide to do something?
Do you think that if he was still a Democrat and the same exact thing...
I would agree with everything you said except this statement. We recognize The Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Texas, F&AM just as we do any other jurisdiction. The issue was not with other Grand Lodges. To say that would imply there is but one Grand Lodge of Texas and as many post on...
I have posted the links on here before and I am trying to find the links to attach to a post. All I ask is that you DOWNLOAD the PDFs instead of floating the links around. I have a free online account that hosts these and my bandwidth is limited. I will post them once I find the other post...
Could not agree more Brother Bob. A Mason is a Mason.
That being said why do people use the term "32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason" as if he is a higher degree than I because he spent $150 and sat down for a day while a degree was performed. This is something I find degrading. If you are a...
ChrisB I understand that this is something that you hold dear to your heart but to assume that ALL Lodges in Texas are racist is incredibly unfair. Our history in Texas is one of very stubborn people. Just look at our great battles with Mexico like the Battle of Gonzales and the Alamo. Masonry...
For me it was seeing my wife for the first time in her dress. I thought it was perfect. I was fortunate enough to have Tom Shelton, my WM at the time, perform my ceremony. It was his first wedding to perform so we had a lot of freedom to personalize the actual ceremony. I will also always...
When I went a few years ago I paid a little over $200 for my $80 face value ticket. It was so worth it in my opinion though. Texas lost but the atmosphere is unlike any football game I have EVER been to. Amazing.
I just sent it too your Inbox. I have the old and the older (not really right saying new) version in PDF along with the ALL Program Video and have them linked. I sent you a PM with the links. Also spoke a little about some of the outdated topics that in the program.
