Bro Sorin,

With respect, I would advise you to be somewhat more "cautious", when talking about the ceremonies. This is an "open" forum, and many non-masons visit for any number ...

Welcome to the rest of your life, Bro. Sorin!

Remember one thing, Freemasonry is a lot more than a "dining" club.

Anton:

Of course it is tricky, life itself is tricky!

I see in you myself as I was 40 years ago, full of the confidence and hubris of youth, nothing is impossible as long as you hit it hard enou ...

To Keith,

I have done some digging into this and the answer is that they would admit a non-Christian into their lodges as a visitor only. They would not allow him to become a member. This situatio ...

To Keith,

By the way, I seem to be a "voice in the wildern ...

Dear Cora,

You have been making sweeping statements about the similarities and differences between our respective rituals, and in the same breath introduce yourself as a "FC".

Perhaps the topic should be renamed "When is a Mason not a Mason ? "

The latest "buzz" topic in Freemasonry seems to be Prince Hall Freemasonry and its offshoots!

I remember ...
