  • 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.

  • Historical Lecture
    HISTORICAL LECTURE This revision has been prepared under the authority and direction of DeMolay International by the Committee on Ritual and Regalia. SEVENTH EDITION © 2017, DeMolay International All Rights Reserved HISTORICAL LECTURE This short informative talk about the organization’s namesake could appropriately be given in public, before Masonic groups, or to candidates for the degrees. It should be given by an Active DeMolay. Required Parts: The Speaker: Spk.; it is most effectively given by an Active DeMolay with a pleasing and mature voice and style of delivery. With permission of the Executive Officer, Chapters may divide this ceremony among multiple speakers. Spk. During the 12th century, the powerful Order of the Temple, also known as the Knights Templar, started in Europe. This Order had been founded to protect the Christians on their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and fought valiantly in all of the Christian military campaigns known as the Crusades. Over time, its mission as the protector of the Church made it an important factor in Europe. The Templars also pioneered modern banking, and gained the trust of the public through their charitable outreach. Consequently, by the early part of the 14th century, the Order had become very influential and wealthy. It was then that Philip the Fair, King of France, began to fear that it would dominate the financial status of his nation. Philip was an ambitious King, at all times eager for war. To fund his battles, he extracted every possible tribute from his people. Still in dire need of money, he took on loans, and found himself deeply in debt to the Templars.
