The Gavel Montezuma Lodge No The gavel monTezuma lodge no. 1 af & am 431 Paseo de Peralta Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501-1958 Just west of the Scottish Rite Temple Phone: 505-982-0971 - Email: [email protected] Volume 20 Issue 4 “The Oldest Masonic Lodge in the Rockies“ Organized May 8, 1851 April 2020 Dear Brethren of Montezuma Lodge No.1, I hope you are all staying safe and healthy. As we continue through this public health crisis, we should take time to remember those who have been lost to COVID-19 and be grateful for those who have recovered. New Mexico has done a remarkable job in flattening the curve which has recently gotten national attention. As the state begins work on planning a reopening, it is very important that we follow the Public Health Orders and continue practicing social distancing. It is unclear when we will return to a place of normalcy and what that new norm will mean for Montezuma Lodge and Freemasonry. Some recent adaptations include the use of video conferencing platforms such as Skype, Zoom, GotoMeeting, MS Teams to name a few. Lodges are already using video conferencing to have untiled meetings and share presentations as allowed by the Grand Lodge. Montezuma Lodge is planning to host our own meeting so keep a lookout for an email announcement. For those of you who do not have a strong internet connection or a camera, a call-in number will be provided. I imagine during the new normal, video conferencing will be more common. I would be happy to hear about your ideas on things we can do with video conferencing. Email ([email protected]) me or call (704-654-1270) me. Sincerely and Fraternally, Jee W. Hwang Worshipful Master Montezuma Lodge, No.1 is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Mischief. Brotherhood. Mayhem. Initiation. PUBLICATION STAFF Is this Freemasonry or the misunderstood post-modernist Editor In Chief - C. Douglas Russell novel/film Fight Club? It’s actually both. At last summer’s SPML Masonic Con weekend in Los Angeles (see page 11), a Managing Editor - Dago Rodriguez, PM panel discussion was held celebrating the 20-year release of the Copy Editors - Brett Fisher, Jeriel Smith cult classic film Fight Club and the symbolic parallels it shares Events/Calendar Editor: Jeriel Smith with Freemasonry. The Masonic convention celebrated by Image by Leticia Burgos screening the film and I was invited to be part of the discussion. Pop Culture Editor - Michael Laidlaw The informative 45-minute discussion did not feel long enough, leaving a lot more to be Layouts: Dago Rodriguez, PM desired, proving that the film connects to our present-day Masonic culture strongly and positively. It was that notion which inspired this very issue you are holding. COVER IMAGE: “Fight Club” Curating the articles for this issue, at first, made the editors of Fraternal Review Poster Art nervous. Let’s face it: the post-modernist Fight Club is by no means a G-rated movie; and © 1999 20th Century Fox if you have not seen the film or read the novel you might be lost; but the more I searched, SCRL OFFICERS the more evident it became: there was plenty to compare and enough copy to fit into two Master - Dago Rodriguez, PM issues. So much so, that it gave me the confidence to even create a talk surrounding this Senior Warden - Daniel Rivera, PM very theme. Junior Warden - Michael Laidlaw The relevance of a study of this nature is pressing and important. Isolation. Social Secretary - Tom Sheehan disillusionment. Division. Consumerism. Masculine anxiety. All are topics many men who Asst. Secretaries - Roger Soriano come through our West Gate are grappling with. Ironically, Fight Club hits on all of them. & John Seletos There is an apparent urgency within men to explore these topics, possibly because our Treasurer - C. Douglas Russell fathers failed us as role models—not on purpose, but because they didn’t know better; or Chaplain - Charlie Fisher, PM possibly because our role models sadly come down to what the media decides to force Senior Deacon - Justin Colella down our throats. Junior Deacon - Geno Nadirov Now more than ever, Freemasonry can assist in answering the call to these issues by the Senior Steward - Kenneth Thomas virtues, principles, and tools it presents its seekers. If more new Masons entering our Junior Steward - Ian E. Laurelin lodges could be taught by seasoned Masons how to correctly apply these tools and Marshal - Johnny Arias principles, perhaps that inner fight toward growth and prosperity wouldn’t be as bloody as Tiler - Johnny Lebrilla the basement scenes in Fight Club. A true brotherhood of civility, confidence, and harmony can be created through the bonds men can form in these lodges.

  • 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.

They are both sweating and disheveled, both around 30; Tyler is blond, handsome (we can't see Tyler's face yet, only his body moving); and Jack, brunette, is appealing in a dry sort of way.
