By AIMEE E. NEWELL, Ph.D. n June 3, 1899, William T. Petherbridge (1848-1924), Thrice Potent Master of OOnota Lodge of Perfection in Pittsfield, MA, wrote to Charles C. Dame, 33°, Deputy of Massachusetts, petitioning for a dispensation for the lodge to work on the coming Festival of St. John: Owing to our close proximity to the so-called Cerneau Consistory at Lenox, it is a difficult matter to build up an active Scottish Rite body, we have many loyal Masons, but to the majority who unfortunately take no pains to investigate, they are just as apt to take the word of the members of the spurious body as they are to believe what we tell them . In these brief lines, Petherbridge raised a number of questions and outlined pressing issues New York that confronted the Scottish Rite then and now. Cerneau to leave Haiti and relocate to Cuba.

  • 2011 Commission Report
    2011 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California have now worked out an agreement that has unified them again into one regular Grand Lodge. The leaders of the two groups have signed the agreement, and have assured it will be ratified by both groups. The Grand Lodge of Baja California has now satisfied the standards for recognition. BULGARIA There continues to be no progress in the unification of Freemasonry in Bulgaria. Since they have previously been determined to meet the standards for recognition, there is no interest on the part of the United Grand Lodge of Bulgaria in entering discussions with the Grand Lodge AF&AM of Bulgaria, either for unification or for establishing a treaty to share the jurisdiction. Both of these Grand Lodges appear to practice regular Masonry, and both were of the same origin until they split in 2001. This Commission has urged the two Grand Lodges to resolve their differences for the past seven years to no avail; therefore this issue will not be addressed again until the brethren in Bulgaria reach some type of agreement. CYPRUS The United Grand Lodge of England and the Grand Lodge of Cyprus have reached an accord whereby they will both share the jurisdiction of Cyprus, and have established fraternal relations among themselves. The Grand Lodge of Cyprus therefore now meets all the standards for recognition. CZECH REPUBLIC The Grand Lodge of the Czech Republic informed us that an irregular body calling itself the Czech National Grand Lodge was recently created by a group of dissident members who defected and formed this new organization.

  • The Three Great Lights
    The Three Great Lights By WBro. Wayne Spring Beacon Court Lodge 1967 – IPM and Lodge Mentor Pentangle Lodge 1174 - JD East Kent Masters Lodge 3931 - Steward Norman Chapter 3502 – Principal Sojourner Word count: 1,540 THE THREE GREAT LIGHTS The Three Great Lights the fundamental objects in Freemasonry. To the uninitiated this bears no meaning; to a brother a way of life. Their importance is highlighted when the Worshipful Master directs attention to the Three Great Lights in Freemasonry, the VSL, The Square and the Compasses. The most important of these is the Volume of the Sacred Law1,2 an indispensable part of the Lodge. The open Bible signifies that we should regulate our conduct according to it. The teachings are to rule and guide our faith, a symbol of man's acknowledgment of his relationship to Deity. Upon the formation of the United Grand Lodge of England, the first ‘Constitution’ detailed the important relationship in the ‘Aims and Relations of the Craft’3. Without familiarisation to the BoC4, a brother understands the importance of the VSL from the ritual. A newly made brother is not presented a copy of the BoC until the end of the initiation degree. During the ceremony he will be informed that “It teaches us the important duties we owe to God, to our neighbour and to ourselves.5” The candidate is informed that it is the unerring standard of Truth and Justice and that it is to rule and govern our faith. 1 Hereinafter referred to as the VSL. 2 No matter what religion 3 The first condition of admission into, and membership of, the Order is belief in the Supreme Being; the Bible, the Volume of the Sacred Law, is always open in Lodges.

  • Plenary Lecture
    HALL I 09.00 — po.00 PLENARY LECTURE The first Capital cornerstone laying: Masonry, Alexandria, the nation, and the world, c. 1791 PROFESSOR STEVEN C. BULLOCK The 1791 ceremony laying the first boundary marker of District of Columbia was not a particularly impressive event. It attracted no famous figures. Even the stone itself was soon replaced. But the seemingly unremarkable ritual that took place almost exactly 220 years ago in Alexandria, just a few miles from the conference site, provides a means of examining some of the most significant elements of Masonry during those years. An examination of the ceremony and the brothers who participated in it highlights the connections that tied them and their town together, that linked them to the new nation and to its growing national economy, and that allowed them to participate in a transatlantic cultural world. Besides participating in these relationships, the fraternity also built and sustained them--allowing its members to fulfill the goal of a much more recent slogan, thinking globally while acting locally. 1111 HA _L" 10.30 —12 NOON SESSION I: MOZART AND FREEMASONRY CHAIR — HARRIET SANDVALL, UK Paper Ia: Mozart: The contrapuntal temple in the last symphony Neva Krysteva, Bulgaria If we discuss the "classical aspect" of Mozart's nature and "recognize" the same Masonic idea in the Requiem and in The Magic Flute, we think in the categories of humanity and universalism. The same can be said in other terms: Mozart is a representative of more than one meaning of the word Masonry: operative meaning ("Kunste," or "Arbeit") and speculative ("Klugheit,") aspects.

  • SECRETS and OATHS Freemasonry in Finnish Society and Public Record 1756–1996
    SUMMARY SECRETS AND OATHS Freemasonry in Finnish Society and Public Record 1756–1996 Freemasonry, as defined in this work, is the teaching of a way of life based upon traditions found within the ancient builder’s guilds. As a prerequisite for membership it requires a belief in Deity and strives to provide spiritual building elements for men who are interested in self-development. Freemasonry uses old ceremonies and rituals as a means of teaching and attempts to maintain their effectiveness by keeping them secret. Builder’s guilds or operative lodges with a mixed membership consisting of both professional builders and other individuals have existed with certainty within the British Isles from the year 1600. Developing from these communities were the speculative lodges in which discussions were held regarding subjects relating to the building profession as well as issues relating to man’s develop- ment and at the same time endeavoring to practice charitable work. In 1717 a Grand Lodge was founded in London which sanctioned a Presbyterian priest, Father James Anderson, to undertake the task of preparing a constitution based on rules, regulations and ethical guidelines of the ancient building guilds. The Anderson Constitution was published in 1723 though the backing of theology doctor Theofilus Desagulier, the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of London. This created the basic concept of a moral-philosophical architecture on which to build. Since 1686 Freemasonry has off and on been accused and deemed respon- sible for conspiracies and plots against governments as well as being anti-Christ and hostile to the church. We can say that already at its birth, the cradle of Freemasonry was rocked hard.

  • MASONIC MOMENTS a Lafayette Lodge No
    LAFAYETTE LODGE NO. 27 F. & A. M. 1550 Irving Street, Rahway, New Jersey 07065 MASONIC MOMENTS A Lafayette Lodge No. 27 Periodical Volume 2, Issue 5 – May 2020 Lodge Historian: RW Arjit “Artie” Mahal United Grand Lodge of England, a Brief History By Bryan S. Passione, PM The United Grand Lodge of England (“UGLE”), and current Freemasons’ Hall, is located on Great Queen Street in the heart of London. A Masonic hall, in one form or another, has stood in this location since 1775, and the current Freemasons’ Hall was constructed in 1933. Incredibly, the building escaped the bombings of World War II virtually unscathed. Freemasons’ Hall is not only home to more than 20 functional lodge rooms, including the stunning Grand Temple (or Grand Lodge) room, but also a Masonic library and museum of Freemasonry. The museum has recently been redesigned to highlight Freemasonry through the ages, specifically within the 300 years since the establishment of the original Grand Lodge of England. United Grand Lodge of England, 60 Great Queen Street, London, UK The Grand Lodge of England, which recently celebrated its tercentenary, was originally established in 1717; and in 1723, published the first “Constitutions of the Free-Masons.” Around 1751, a divide occurred between the membership and the Grand Lodge split into two separate Grand Lodges; the Grand Lodge of England (also known as the Moderns) and the Ancient Grand Lodge (also known as the Ancients). The divide 1 between the Moderns and the Ancients stemmed from disagreements over the nature of the Masonic ritual1, where the Moderns sought to modernize the ritual and place less focus on ritual overall.

ADDRESS TO OUR READERS. IN accordance with " time-honoured custom," the completion of the 18fch Vol. of the New Series of the FREEMASONS' MAGAZINE AND MASONIC MIEROE is now availed of to address our readers. "With a view to carry out the proposal some time ago started for enabling the publishing price of the MAGAZINE to be reduced, and its circulation greatly increased, the preliminary steps have been taken,' and" it now only remains for our friends and the well wishers of the MAGAZINE to come forward and aid us in completing the project, in the successful carrying out of which, all the members of the Masonic fraternity, whether holding under the English, Scottish, or Irish constitutions, are interested to a much greater extent than those who have hitherto been connected with the MAGAZINE as a property. Now that the course of transferring the future publication of the MAGAZINE to a Joint Stock Company with " Limited Liability" has been determined upon, we earnestly invite the co-operation of its friends and supporters ; and, as it is not thought desirable to parade our Order and its only recognised Organ before the public, and as it is not believed to be necessary to appeal to the public to take shares in the Company, it is not proposed to issue any advertisements or public announcements ; it is therefore hoped that any application further a field for the remainder of the capital required, will be unnecessary.
