I was a member of a prince Hall Lodge. My problems with Masonry began with the idea of referring to any person-other than God- as "worshipful master". As I elevated in the lodge and learned more of what masonry truly espouses I realized that as a committed Christian I could not reconcile that commitment to Christ with the teachings of the Masons I walked away and have never returned. That was over 20 years ago. I have never regretted ,nor even given second thought to this decision. Pastor Ed --- Jerry <jelewis@...> wrote: > I am not, ... but my Dad and Granddad were.
