  • Lodges of Research
    LODGES OF RESEARCH Presented by Dan M. Kemble, Master, William O. Ware Lodge of Research, at Lexington Lodge No. 1, Lexington, Kentucky, February 19, 2019. It’s an honor and pleasure to be speaking to you tonight. I would like to thank the Worshipful Master for his invitation and thank you for being here this evening. Allow me to begin with a disclaimer: the statements, thoughts and opinions expressed in this presentation are mine. They do not necessarily represent the positions any Lodge or Grand Lodge. When Masons talk about the last fifty years, we generally talk about the dramatic decline in Lodge membership over that period of time. Equally dramatic, however, in that same period of time is the increase in the availability of information regarding Freemasonry. Information about the Fraternity is delivered to our desktops and cell phones through technological advances that seemingly have no end in sight. The “Age of Information” in which we live has not ignored Freemasonry, although we are at times slow to take advantage of its resources. Those interested in learning more about Freemasonry can visit various Lodge and Grand Lodge websites, listen to podcasts, read blogs and even attend a “virtual” Lodge. In addition to information available electronically, there are organizations such as “The Masonic Society” and “The Philalethes Society” that publish quarterly journals containing scholarly works on subjects of interest to Freemasons. In something of a chicken or egg manner, the thirst for Masonic knowledge and the increase of electronic resources and other print media providing information about Freemasonry seem, at least for the time being, to fuel each other.

A despite the fragmentary nature of the evidence number of Masons attended the Convention, as at hand, attribute great political importance to we know, and we are told that among the 39 the Craft during the Eighteenth Century.

  • Anti-Masonry, and Our Response
    Anti-Masonry, And Our Response Wallace McLeod Virginia Research Lodge No. 1777 June 27th, 1998 INTRODUCTION Worshipful Master, Distinguished Masons, and my Brethren: let me begin by saying how very grateful I am to your Secretary, Wor. Brother Keith A. Hinerman, for inviting me to be with you today, and for arranging all the details of my visit with such thoughtful care. And he has been so good to us on our previous visits! Actually, as your Lodge circular notes, this is the third time that I have been privileged to address Virginia Research Lodge. The first was fourteen years ago (on June 23, 1984), when I talked about "The Sufferings of John Coustos." Then, just five years ago (on June 26, 1993), I spoke on "The Evolution of the Masonic Ritual." Those times now seem like a different age. In both of my earlier visits, I came at the invitation of my dear friend, mentor, and editor, the late Allen Earl Roberts, who died on March 13, 1997, in his 80th year. In the words of John J. Robinson, Allen was "the most prolific author, perhaps in all of Masonic history." He was certainly the most effective educator. He saw what American Masons needed, and then went ahead and gave it to them. He did so much for Masonry, wrote so many indispensable Masonic books, produced so many superb Masonic moving pictures. And many of his publications are still available, at very reasonable prices, from the firm that he founded, Anchor Communications. And of course he was Master of Virginia Research Lodge, No 1777, in 1965-67, and served as its Secretary from 1973 to 196.

  • The American Doctrine: a Concept Under Siege Stewart W
    The American Doctrine: A Concept Under Siege Stewart W. Miner Virginia Research Lodge No. 1777 March 21, 1992 Setting the Stage I have been interested for many years in the way and manner that Grand Lodges exercise jurisdictional power. By custom, practice, and law Grand Masters and Grand Lodges have in the past assumed, allocated, and implemented almost unlimited authority to the end that Masonic organization and operation has taken on near-monopolistic, if not near- oligarchic, characteristics. Seemingly, moreover, the resultant unique system has been subject, for the most part, to only minimal and periodic challenge. In consequence Grand Lodges have become powers within themselves, answerable on occasion to the membership, but free, by and large, to rigidly control and protect their interests within the confines of proclaimed jurisdictional limits. In furthering this conception of power it has been a common practice for Grand Lodges to declare sovereign authority over all Masons and all lodges within their purview, and in some instances even to claim exclusive Masonic jurisdiction over every male — Mason or not — within their domain. These efforts, in short, while protecting parochial interests, have been undeniably restrictive. In the past quarter-century, however, serious challenges to the authority of Grand Lodges have been launched by individual Masons, by some highly placed leaders in the appendant and coordinate bodies, and by many who themselves lead or have led Grand Lodges. These challenges have caused the initiation of efforts to review Masonic laws and customs, particularly as they pertain to the concept of exclusive territorial jurisdiction — the so-called American Doctrine — in several jurisdictions.

  • Faith Hope and Charity
    "FAITH, HOPE, AND CHARITY" In the Entered Apprentice lecture we learn that the covering of a lodge is a clouded canopy, or starry-decked heavens, where every good Mason hopes at last to arrive. We learn about that spiritual ladder Jacob saw in his vision, from Genesis Chapter 28: "And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it." Masonic tradition informs us the three principal rungs are labelled Faith, Hope and Charity. But interestingly, those words do not appear in Genesis, but rather 1 Corinthians Chapter 13: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." The men who crafted our ritual saw fit to unite these ideas, and they work together well, if separated a bit biblically. Let us expand on these virtues, how they relate to Freemasonry, and how to pursue them in our daily lives. FAITH Faith and religion are often confused; religion has been defined as: 1 "The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods." While faith is defined in Hebrews 11: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." You might say, faith is trusting in something you cannot explicitly prove. You must have faith in God to be a Mason. But how you exercise that faith, the doctrine you follow, the means of expressing it, may rightly be called your religion, and that decision is left to the individual Mason.

  • Black Freemasonry
    Black Freemasonry Douglas T. Boynton Virginia Research Lodge No. 1777 March 9, 2002 Introduction I became interested in the subject when a black man with whom I worked told me he had petitioned a Prince Hall lodge. We were talking one day after his initiation, when he mentioned that seventeen people were initiated during the one Saturday meeting. I asked him where in line he was to receive his degree. He told me that he had started out near the middle of the line, but that by the time they reached the altar, he had worked his way up to the front of the line. At that point in time, I knew that I wanted to find out more about this group of Freemasons with whom we hold no conversation. As he progressed through the degrees, I began to learn more about how the Prince Hall lodges handled the degree candidates. It seems that all the Prince Hall lodges in the district hold a joint communication on a Saturday once a quarter to conduct the degree work for all candidates for the degree in which they are working that day. All candidates were given a coded sheet to assist in learning the memory work. The Saturday before the called communication, all candidates meet with their mentor who determines which candidates can answer which specific questions and then arranges them for examination so that each candidate has a question or questions he can answer. Harold Van Buren Voorhis in his book "Negro Masonry in the United States", published in 1940 contends that we wrongly brand Prince Hall Lodges as "clandestine" since their original authority was from a proper Grand Based on the history of African Lodge, which we will discuss later.
