We are taught, while standing on the first step in Masonry, that the form of the lodge is the furniture, lights and ornaments of the lodge. We are also told that, by the cable tow we may be lead away, without beholding the form thereof. Hum, Really. So, we are to believe that the form we will miss out on, are rows of old, low, uncomfortable theater sets, within a poorly lit room with poorly painted off white walls. An old unused organ, covered by an old stained cover that doesn't quite do the job. Some decent lodge furniture and a couple of prints, one, my personal favorite, of Brother Washington hanging next to the rear door, that no mater how we try, we can't get to stay straight. Yah, right. So what's the real deal. Read the rest of this entry

Hey all...

       I was wondering....  For this event on Monday (8/24)  at the SRC...  It says and I quote "Lodge will be convened on the First Degree for the purpose of Masonic Education".   Does this mean that It will be necessary for someone to be there to vouch for me?  As a fairly newly EA I'm not quite sure if I would?  The term "lodge convened" tells me YES I would need someone; yet the term "Masonic Education" tells me that it might to an open to the public event.    Not sure, any info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Hello All,

                 I am a fairly new EA from El Cajon and am brand new to the site.  I thought perhaps this might enable me to keep informed about other 1º initiations and/or proficiencies going on around the area so that I might be able to attend.....  I suppose I'll just be checkingback in to see what's going on in the future.  Thanks!
