Thomas, Thank you for this mention of the Visscher Museum of Masonic Culture, the only real museum in New Jersey Freemasonry. I'm a member of the Scottish Rite Valley that houses the museum, and even I was not aware of the extent of its Swedish Rite collection. Cordially & fraternally, Jay Bro. Thomas,

]]> Comment on Regarding a letter in The Square by A pre-1813 Mason http://grailquest.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/regarding-a-letter-in-the-square/#comment-412 A pre-1813 Mason Mon, 27 Jul 2009 01:53:29 +0000 http://grailquest.wordpress.com/?p=464#comment-412 I find it funny how Freemasonry was opened up to allow other faiths to become members, and now people have infiltrated with not only secular humanist agendas, but with the purpose of writing the Christian origins out of history and persecuting those lodges and Masons which have preserved the Christian work of lodges of Sts John. Meanwhile, there is far too much disunity in the Christian community, and so often we find apologetics, censoring their own tongue and being far too passive as everyone seems to be reaching out to take a swipe at Christians and especially Christian Masonry. The higher you go in Masonry, the more Christian the esoterica will be. Period. Christian Orders need to stand firm in holding down their square, as there are many who lie to infiltrate and destroy from within. Masonic Christian Rites are ecumenical, and there is a new upswing of interest from generations X, Y & Z. But, there is also an ignorant pool of people whose scope is limited with regards to Masonic history and origins, who insist that everything must be universal in Masonry, going so far as to claim that it has always been this way. Nothing could be more untrue. Everything from speech transcripts to catechisms and rituals prove it have only recently become so universal in nature.

It's ridiculous and wonderful! Rx_ www.myspace.com/nurvuss hey neat, glad you like. i pretty much single-handedly wrote that wikipedia article.
