  • Freemasonry from England to The
    R.W. Douglas L. Jordan, K.Y.C.H., K.C.C.H., O.P.C. Past District Deputy Grand Master Past Grand High Priest Grand Governor for Virginia, YRSC of NA I . Where did Masonry start? Without a doubt, Masonry has existed from the time when "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" - that is from "time immemorial." Some Masonic writers in the late 190' Century claimed Noah as our founder. Those of us who have had the pleasure of witnessing Springfield Lodge's presentation on Cleopatra's Needle are aware of the very Masonic symbols that were found under the base of an Egyptian obelisk that was erected about 1500 B.C. John Robinson in Born in Blood provides much evidence that we owe our lodges to the Knights Templar who needed a cover following their suppression by the Catholic Church in 1307. The most generally accepted view, points to the guilds of freemasons. Operative masons have always been involved in the building of temples and other monuments from antiquity to the present day. Written evidence indicates that sometime before 926 AD masons had formed guilds or lodges but appear to have had some problems in their government. The Regius Poem or Halliwell Manuscript, which dates from 1390, tells how Athelstan, King of All England, called an Assembly at York in 926 to consider the government of the Master Masons and Craftsmen. At this assembly, fifteen Articles were adopted for the government of the Master Mason. These Articles include that: The Master must be steadfast, trusty and true.

  • Lodge Officer Training Course Study Guide
    The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida LODGE OFFICER TRAINING COURSE STUDY GUIDE Revised 2011 Series I Module I Basic Fundamentals Lessons 1 through 7 Organization Masonic Education Committee Revised 05/2012 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the ranks of those Master Masons who are concerned about their Lodge's need for good Officers and are willing to make a commitment to improve themselves in Masonry. Your involvement in this program indicates you are one of those Florida Masons. Our Lodges and their communities throughout Florida are undergoing constant change and upheaval as a result of the rapid growth of our population. Daily, as individuals and Masons, we are faced with decisions about legal matters, taxation, insurance, planning, finances and other areas which in many instances defy understanding. Recognizing that those who serve our Lodge, as Officers, must have special knowledge to prepare them to fill those offices, this training material has been prepared for your use and benefit. The course has a number of lessons which have their own text. Many of these also contain lists of reference materials and other items designed to expand your knowledge of our Fraternity. This program is designed to allow expansion as needed. It is hoped that your interest will be keen and there will be sufficient demand to warrant frequent additions to the program. Study well the prepared text materials. Make wide use of the various reference materials. Consider the questions carefully and make sure your answer is the best one. When you have completed the tests in Module I, submit the completed Module to your Zone Chairman of Masonic Education.
