I have been a Mason for 40 years and have attended meetings in about 20 lodges across the country. No Koran, only the Holy Bible with the old and new Testament.
I am a past master of my own lodge; I know what is in it.
We use the Holy Bible for all our meetings and rituals.
NO KORAN!!
What is the shedding earthly alloy, passing through the gates of Capricorn, ascendant stuff?
It sounds very interesting.
Am I remembering correctly?
My dad was in a Masonic Lodge when he was stationed in Japan in the 1950s.
One of the most difficult things to explain to the Japanese was why perfectly normal Americans would dress up like Arabs and parade through a park in Tokyo...
