There is a working lodge at Kandahar Air Field Afghanistan: http://www.grandchapter-bc-yukon.ca/canadalodge.shtml In addition, there is a Prince Hall lodge here as well. I belong to a Grand Lodge, that does not (yet) recognize PH Masonry. I can, however attend the Canadian lodge. I hope...

You will cherish the Shrine. I encourage you to visit the nearest Shrine hospital, and see up close and personal, the miracles that happen there every day. Go to youtube, and view some of the testimonials of parents whose children have been helped. If possible, volunteer to transport kids to...

Let not your heart be troubled. Here is the sequence: You submit your petition to be made a Mason. The lodge does an investigation. The investigation reports to the lodge. Your application is voted on, and if successful, you are invited to attend a degree meeting. You go to the lodge, take...

Most men, just focus on the examiner/questioner, and forget about the audience. If you can imagine you are talking to only one man, you will lose the stage fright.

Check out this link: http://www.masonicangelfund.org/index2.htm I find this charity to be terrific, and exactly the kind of activity, that Freemasonry should be doing. Please consider suggesting this charity to your lodge!

Excuse me? Are you saying that a Mason does not have to follow the regulations of the Grand Lodge, which he took an oath to? Even though I do not reside in Kentucky (My USA residence is in Virginia, and I am working a project in Afghanistan), I will follow the regulations of the Grand Lodge of...

How sad, that Christmas is coming, and so far, only one person has stepped up, to remember our young men and women, here in Afghanistan. Please, ask your lodge to consider sending some items here, to America's Finest. Christmas is a sad and lonely time, for our troops here in this part of the...

It is entirely permitted, for the female dependents of Masons to wear such jewelry. There are "Mrs. Mason" pendants, and "Blue Slipper" pins, available as well. My wife travels internationally, frequently. I got her a "Mrs. Mason" pin, and told her, that if she ever gets into a hassle, to seek...

You should visit: http://www.masonicinfo.com/approaching.htm Submit your paperwork, and if accepted you will be on your way to being a full-fledged Master Mason. Once you have completed, the Master Mason degree, you will have completed the highest degree in Masonry, the "black belt" of...

For the record: I am a CIVILIAN technician, working in Afghanistan. I do not want any confusion, nor anyone thinking that I am a soldier. I served in the US Air Force, 1973-1978, and I was honorably discharged. I am proud of my military service, but I am now way too old and too fat, for military...

I have been working in Afghanistan, and Iraq for over six years. I am in Kandahar, Afghanistan now. It is a puzzlement to me, why people in the USA, and especially the leadership of Grand Lodges, are scared to death of chartering a lodge in this part of the world. Why do you think it will create...

Just let me know your US mailing address. I will get a flag, have it run up the pole here, (usually about 5 minutes), and the Army will create a certificate of authenticity, with the date, and signed by the commander. Then I mail it to your lodge. The cost of the flag is about $17, plus postage...

I have visited lodges in five (5) foreign countries. Visiting lodges, is part of the wages of a Master Mason. My experience, has been that foreign lodges are thrilled to have American visitors. You should obtain the schedule of the meeting, time and place. Plan to arrive at least 30mins before...

I have some US Flags, flown here at Kandahar, in full view of the enemies of Freedom. If your lodge would like to have one of these flags, with a certificate of authenticity, please let me know.

Brothers, I am saddened, that the response to this request has not met with more enthusiasm. The Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines here, are risking their lives for our freedom. Can you spare some coffee, and candy, and tobacco, for America's FINEST? Please consider donating. Thanks.

I am delighted to hear of your decision. As Yoda said to young Luke Skywalker: "Don't try Luke, DO!". The decision to participate in our Gentle Craft, should be made "prayerfully and carefully". There are some misguided people, who believe that Masonry is "satanic", and "only the higher-ups...

I have been a Mason for 28 years, and I have visited lodges in 13 states, Washington DC, and five foreign countries. I have never seen any mention of a person's sexual orientation come up. As far as I am concerned, I would have no problem at all with a gay man petitioning my lodge. One woman...

I have been kicking around a similar idea for some years. I think it would be terrific, if USA lodges could "adopt" a lodge in a foreign country, and provide them with masonic regalia, aprons,etc. I visited a lodge in Moscow (Russia), and they did not have aprons, jewels, etc. Such items are...

The phrasing (IN KY, where I became a MM), is something like :" And under the jurisdiction of I may come in the future". Now, this implies to me, that I would have to follow the rules/regulations of any Grand Lodge, that I may JOIN in the future. I became a Mason in KY. I took out dual...
