Excellent information Bro. Mac. I'm working on establishing a Master Craftsman Study Group in my county. I'll work on the CoC myself...
It will be a lot of work just to get the MC Study Group up and running.
Thestoat - I'm interested in seeing what you have available. Please PM me at your convenience.
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a rough patch. I pray that everything works out for you...
Bro. Bennett - If you don't mind, please keep me in the loop on this one. Maybe we...
Jerry -
The quickest way to get all the basic-level info you need is to check out the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction website (www.scottishrite.org). Another good page is the Valley of Jacksonville website (www.aasrvalleyofjax.org).
I think a lot of you questions will be answered...
It's true... The Civil War just isn't that big of a deal in the North. Growing up, I never really gave it much attention. We talked about it in school. "The South broke away from the Union because they didn't want to free the slaves." Years later, with a B.A. in Military History, I know THAT...
I didn't read through all the posts in this thread, so I may be repeating what's already been said.
I think the premise of the question is wrong. Religion is integral to Freemasonry. This becomes very apparent once you explore the Scottish and York Rites.
As for the implied question - I...
Here's what get's me about my Valley: The pyramid is ~$30. The 10K plated ring is $40. If we STOPPED BUYING A PYRAMID NOBODY WANTS and saved $10 somewhere else - we could give all the candidates a ring. /sigh...
GLoNC finally recognized PHM last year.
In my Masonic experience, the brethren in PHM are some of the most enthusiastic and learned Freemasons I have ever met.
Unfortunately, PHM is a target for MANY, MANY bogus African-American Grand Lodges. There are 16 bogus GLs in Texas...
My lodge is pretty active: States Communications 1st and 3rd Tuesday; Emergent Communications 2nd and 4th (as required).
Our Stated Comms usually run about 1:15 - 1:30. We pass all the info for upcoming events, talk about what's new at other lodges (5 total in the county).
Heck, the...
I just rooted my Droid X. Other than being able to install a pre-release version of Gingerbread (Android 2.3), I am still looking for the great benefit...
To be honest, it was fine w/out being rooted. Oh - I guess I can tether now... not that I've ever needed to do that before.
Wow - what a coincidence. I recently discovered that my 5x great-grand father was a Captain in the Maryland militia at Valley Forge.
As far as I can tell, I'm the first Mason on either side of my families. However, I only dicovered my mother's line last week, so I don't know...
