Ezekiel Bey on the Prince Hall Masonic group Blue-Lite introduced the group to an old Theron Dunn article from his site, A Beacon of Masonic Light. Theron passed away three years ago but his work lives on. That article brought back memories of the days Theron and I did battle. We met on Stephen Dafoe’s […]

Freemasonry and Religion: Adversaries or Allies?
Through Freemasonry, however, I have had opportunity to break bread with good men of other than my own Christian faith. Freemasonry does not promote any one religious creed.
