    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.

  • Oklahoma Mason February 2009
    2009 - vol. II February/March page 1 James Richard Onkst - 1995 1939 - 2009 page 2 The Oklahoma Mason 2009 - vol. II February/March From the Grand Master As we begin writing this issue of the Oklahoma Mason Magazine, our thoughts and prayers are centered on the families of M.W. Jim Onkst, Past Grand Master in 1995, and R.W. Tom Ward Past Grand Treasurer of this Grand Jurisdiction. These two gentlemen were devoted family men and devoted Masons. There is a lot of degree work going on around the State AND most of these new Masons are very young. A few years ago, I would have just said "Young" not "Very Young", I guess I'm getting old (or they really are "Very Young")! If your Lodge needs some help performing the Degrees, please don't hesitate to ask for help. See the article by R.W. Randy Rogers in this issue. Your Brethren are always ready to assist. Once these young men start showing up to meetings, don't push them aside or set them in a corner. Get them involved through encouragement, not Force. That stuff doesn't work on these "Millennial Masons." They want to feel as though it is their decision to become part of something their Fathers & Grandfathers only whispered about. Also, they don't want their Degree "Shortened" or major parts left out. You see, they know more about what's going to happen to them then we did. Once your Lodge accomplishes a "Younger" look, you will find that your Lodge will begin to grow and become a viable part of the Community.

Gary Norton Right Eminent Grand Commander One Hundred Thirty-Third Annual Conclave Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Washington 4 July 2020 Sir Knights— Greetings, in the name of our most gracious and precious Risen Lord Jesus Christ! It has been an honor and privilege to have been able to serve as your Grand Commander for this past year. Thank you for that privilege and honor. Throughout this past year, I have conducted many Official Visits to Constituent Commanderies within the jurisdiction of the State of Washington. As well, I had the pleasure of presiding over some of the Commandery Installation of Officers. It is a comfort to confirm with you that in every instance I was greeted with warm hospitality, cordial fellowship and immeasurable camaraderie. This has been an inspiration to me, as it should be to you, of the sincere amity and harmony prevailing within the sanctum of the asylums of our Commanderies. Necrology: During this past Templar year, the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Washington suffered the loss of 32 Sir Knights. An inspired and heartening hope leads us to the comforting belief that these Sir Knights met the trying hour with fortitude undaunted, and waking in the dawn of a new day, receiving justice, tempered with mercy unrestrained, which is the glorious attribute of the Son of GOD, and entering through the gates into the City, they have been admitted to the companionship of just men, made perfect in the realms of Light and Life Eternal.
