  • Separately Elevates and Broadens Our Masonic Experience
    There Is So Much More Message from Robert O. Ralston, 33o Sovereign Grand Commander, A.A.S.R., N.M.J. One of the many exciting insights that is revolutionizing American business is something called teaming. Automobile designers, manufacturing experts, marketers, advertising specialists, engineers, and others at Ford locations across the world worked together to create the new Ford Taurus car. The end result is a far better product brought to the market in loss time and at lower cost. The total resources of the Ford Motor Company were involved in creating the new car. And it all happened because of teaming. The lesson of teaming applies to Freemasonry. Each Masonic body has a unique perspective on our Fraternity, as well as specialized resources and members with unusual expertise. Each Masonic organization is an incredibly important and valuable resource for all of Freemasonry. Each Masonic body contributes to the rich texture of the Fraternity, builds member allegiance, serves noble charitable purposes, and extends the reach of Freemasonry. But even with the many wonderful accomplishments of the individual organizations, we cannot fulfill our Masonic mission alone. Each group is a facet on the Masonic jewel. Each Masonic body makes a contribution that enhances the lives of the others. We are enriched by each other. Most importantly, we are all Masons. The Symbolic Lodge binds us together, and it is this common Masonic experience that makes it possible for us to be Knight Templar Masons, Scottish Rite Masons, and Shrine Masons. What we do separately elevates and broadens our Masonic experience. The Internet is making it possible for tens of millions of people around the world to talk to each other at home and at work.

  • "The Capstone" an Attempt to Identify The
    "The Capstone" An attempt to identify the 'Head of the Snake' Secret Societies Order of Hospitallers (link) The Knights Hospitaller, also known as the Order of Hospitallers or simply Hospitallers, were a group of men attached to a hospital in Jerusalem that was founded by Blessed Gerard around 1023 out of which two major Orders of Chivalry evolved, the Order of the Knights of St. Lazarus and the Order of the Knights of St. John, later to be known as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. The Hospitallers arose around the work of an Amalfitan hospital located at the Muristan site in Jerusalem, founded around 1023 to provide care for poor, sick or injured pilgrims to the Holy Land. After the Western Christian conquest of Jerusalem in 1099 during the First Crusade, the organisation became a religious and military order under its own charter, and was charged with the care and defence of the Holy Land. Following the conquest of the Holy Land by Islamic forces, the Order operated from Rhodes, over which it was sovereign, and later from Malta where it administered a vassal state under the Spanish viceroy of Sicily. The Order was weakened by Napoleon's capture of Malta in 1798 and became dispersed throughout Europe. It regained strength during the early 19th century as it repurposed itself towards humanitarian and religious causes. The modern continuation of the mediaeval Order is the Roman Catholic Sovereign Military Order of Malta, headquartered in Rome; allied Protestant orders are headquartered in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. The first master of the original Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem was Brother Gerard (whose origins remain a mystery).
