Grand Master of Virginia Makes Statement, Sets Policy, Against Solicitation for KKK, Aryan Nation, and Other Subversive Groups, in Masonic Lodges:


Most Worshipful Jeffery E. Hodges wrote a letter with the following statement:

With regard to organizations that are anti-Semitic, racist or antisocial in their doctrine and advocation, such as but not limited to, the Ku Klux Klan, Aryan Nations, etc., the following will be the policy of the Grand Lodge of Virginia: it is not acceptable to present information on, display association with, or solicit involvement in such organizations in a Masonic Lodge holden under the Grand Lodge of Virginia. At no time, should such organizations be linked to our gentle Craft.

Gate City II is an Atlanta Masonic Lodge. We are Free and Accepted Masons working under the jurisdiction of The Grand Lodge of Georgia. We meet at the Atlanta Masonic Center (formerly The Atlanta Masonic Temple) 1690 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30309

What's kind of sad, is that such a statement had to be made.

Anti-semantic? Is that a copy error?

47th,

It was a direct copy. I will change it here and alert the author.

Thanks for bringing the error to our attention.
