Whence Came You? - 0465 - In Defense of Appendant Bodies

<p><img alt="" height="225" src="https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/32703/0465.png" width="400" /></p> <p>This week, In Defense of Appendant Organizations: settling the competition with the Lodges. Do the Shriners really steal our blue Lodge members? Does the Scottish Rite scout out good ritualists and steal them away? Does the blue Lodge resent all the other organizations? We'll answer that in a new paper from Brother William Boyd. Then, the wildly bizarre tale of William Wirt-- the anti-masonic parties choice to run for president--who was a brother? We'll hear about it in part one of this week's Masonic minute with Illustrious Brother Steven L. Harrison. Then, we'll reminisce a little bit about some of my feelings in relation to going to Grand Lodge sessions… maybe we're not going. We'll wrap it up with a great piece on platonic idealism and why it matters right now in this moment of history.
