  • 2010 Commission Report
    2010 Commission Report BAJA CALIFORNIA The two groups representing the Grand Lodge of Baja California agreed at the meeting of the Commission last year to sit down with the assistance of selected mediators and work for a resolution of their differences. This was accomplished and M :.W :. Franco Magdaleno Soto representing one faction, and M :.W :. Bro. Hector Pablo Meixueiro, representing the other faction signed the "California Agreement" which summarized the terms for unification of the two groups. Following that meeting, the Grand Lodge group headed by G.M. Soto ratified the agreement The Grand Lodge group headed by G.M Meixueiro would not concur with the agreement. During the year, several attempts to encourage completion of the ratification process were unsuccessful. Both Grand Masters attended the current meeting of the Commission, and both agreed to negotiate BOLIVIA A new Grand Lodge has surfaced in Bolivia, named the Grand Lodge of York Rite for Bolivia, located in the Department (state) of Cochabamba. It was founded in June of 2008 and composed of members from the Grand Lodge of Bolivia. There is no evidence of them being constituted by a regular Grand Lodge, nor is there a pact or treaty that the Grand Lodge of Bolivia will share the jurisdiction with them. The claim of this Grand Lodge is that the Constitution of Bolivia gives them, and no one else, sovereignty in the Department of Cochabamba. It is suspected that this may be true politically, but not Masonicly. This Grand Lodge has not been recognized by any other Grand Lodges, but they claim legitimacy by virtue of the fact that their members come from Lodges of the Grand Lodge of Bolivia, which is recognized by the United Grand Lodge of England.

  • Moody Blues Release
    Adrian Bohm Presents…… THE MOODY BLUES WORLD TOUR 2005 MELBOURNE PALAIS THEATRE SUNDAY APRIL 10 SYDNEY STATE THEATRE TUESDAY APRIL 12 WEDNESDAY APRIL 13 THURSDAY APRIL 14 BRISBANE CONVENTION CENTRE SATURDAY APRIL 16 With a career that spans almost 40 years The Moody Blues are one of the most enduring rock bands in music history. They have generated a legendary list of hit songs that are regarded as some of the most groundbreaking and innovative music of our time. Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge continue their magical music legacy with the first Australian tour in 18 years. A legendary band with an incredible list of hits including NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN, RIDE MY SEE SAW, THE STORY IN YOUR EYES, ISN’T LIFE STRANGE, QUESTION, I’M JUST A SINGER IN A ROCK AND ROLL BAND, to name few. The Moody Blues have sold over 55 millions albums and received multi platinum and gold albums and have, over the course of several decades, performed sold out tours, making them one of the top grossing album and touring bands ever. The Moody Blues first album DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED was released in 1967 and was a ground breaking concept album that for the first time fused an orchestra with electric guitars. The album was so unique in its approach that it became a landmark moment in popular music history. Their record company, Decca Records had requested that the band record an album to test stereo recording, which was in its infancy at the time. Decca being a mainly classical label asked the Moody Blues to record a rock version of Dvorak’s 9th Symphony.

  • ENT Hayward Prepdf
    Twenty-First Century Troubadour: Justin Hayward on French Connections, Songwriting, and Literature Interview with Barbara Havercroft Born in 1946 in Swindon, England, Justin Hayward is the lead singer, song- writer, and guitarist with the legendary band The Moody Blues. His renowned, highly successful career in music is now in its sixth decade, and is characterized by excellence and innovation in popular music. The Moody Blues have sold more than seventy million albums and have been awarded more than a dozen platinum and gold discs. Justin Hayward has also released seven solo albums and has received numerous prestigious awards, such as the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music, awarded in May 20131. The following telephone interview was conducted at the University of Toronto on Monday, June 10, 2013. Barbara Havercroft §1 After you and John Lodge joined the Moody Blues in August, 1966, the band continued performing the rhythm and blues music played by the previous incarnation of the group. At this point, in the late sixties, you and your four band- mates decided to travel to Belgium to work. Why did you choose Belgium? Were there conditions in Belgium that were conducive to the band’s metamorphosis and the conception of new material, including the Days of Future Passed composi- tions2? Justin Hayward Actually, the band’s metamorphosis came a bit later. You must remember that nothing is planned in this band. We just stumble into things and lucky accidents and great big slices of luck happen to us. So there was no plan. We went to Belgium playing the old rhythm and blues set, which we continued playing for about three or four months after John and I joined [the group] and we simply weren’t very good at it.

  • FREEMASONRY and the VATICAN
    FREEMASONRY and the VATICAN A STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION Translated from the French of VICOMTE LEON DE PONCINS by Timothy Tindal-Robertson WHEREAS before the war it was little known or discussed, Freemasonry today commands an ever-growing and informed audience which has called forth much serious literature and has even provoked television documentary films which have aroused widespread interest. Freemasonry and the Vatican is the latest book dealing with an entirely new phase in the orientation of Masonry in the modern world. There is at present in Catholic circles a constant, subtle and determined campaign in favour of Freemasonry. It is directed by the progressive element which is currently enjoying a great influence in French and American Church circles and beginning to show its hand in England too. Its avowed object is to obtain from the Vatican the revision or even annulment of the various condemnations pronounced by the Popes upon the Craft since 1738. This element consists of a number of priests, including a Jesuit, Editors of Catholic newspapers and several writers of note. In this new work, Vicomte de Poncins emphatically reinforces the Church's condemnations of Freemasonry, which, as he shows, have been renewed more than six times since the Second World War and he quotes from authoritative Masonic documents, hitherto unknown to the English reader. Although the author is mainly concerned with Grand Orient Freemasonry, he treats in some detail the question of Masonic Regularity and Irregularity and the oft-disputed relationship of the Anglo-Saxon with the Grand Orient Obediences, and brings to light startling and valuable new evidence on the origins of Anderson's Constitutions and the Grand Lodge of England.
