December? Wow.
I guess it’s okay to look into 2026 for upcoming events, and Alpha Lodge 729 in Ohio has something very promising planned for next month. From the publicity:
Anti-Masonic Round Table
Saturday, January 31
Alpha Lodge 729
Kettering, Ohio
$10 tickets here
Join MW Bro. Bill Carter, PGM for this riveting discussion on the anti-Masonic movement and how to turn it around. A boxed lunch will be offered for $10. Only 100 tickets will be offered, so don’t miss out.
“How to turn it around” intrigues me. Without a doubt, 2026 will be an apt occasion to discuss anti-Masonry*, as it will be the bicentennial year of the William Morgan debacle in New York, and the resulting scandal, political upheaval, and near collapse of the Masonic Order in the Northeast. Anti-Masonry will be with us always, thanks to the grifters, religious dingbats, and low IQ clods who come away from some YouTube video thinking they know more about Freemasonry than you, and I don’t see how that can be overcome. There are reasons Masonry transcends ignorance.
The roundtable is too far a drive for me, but if you’re in the area, check it out. Master Masons only.
*Look for the Magpie Mason at the September communication of New Jersey Lodge of Masonic Research and Education 1786 when I’ll discuss the Anti-Masonic Party’s progress in that state during the 1820s and ’30s.
