I visited this wonderful building along with my wife in 2016. Having intimated that I was a Past Master from Scotland, I was treated so well by those hosting the tour, a real highlight of our visit to Philadelphia.

Honestly, you must go and see this place in person. It really is remarkable.

I don't recall the (huge, overpowering) statue of Benjamin Franklin in the banquet hall during my visit in the early 1990s. While visiting the Liberty Bell, a US Park ranger recommended that I visit the Masonic Temple (she had noted my Masonic ring) Not everyone in my party was enthusiastic about going, but after the visit they were absolutely awed and amazed!

I have visited and been shown around this building. The 18 Century French Style Lodge is very impressive.

I noticed that when they were asked about prominent members, they mentioned George Washington, Ben Franklin and Voltaire. Why no mention of Albert Pike and Manley P. Hall? Many know their names as well. They're quite prominent.

I think my father was a freemason. I didnt really realise when he was alive. He would often puff out his chest and bellow 'it's business' - he didnt care who he walked over, in the course of 'business'. Is that part of the 'morality'.

[MijamiMarlitoRivera]

My good Brother forgot to mention that it was the Irish Grand Lodge that accepted Prince Hall.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV) 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
