‘Sorcery in a research lodge and gobo on a temple’

    
GL of Pennsylvania
The Masonic Temple in Philadelphia
aglow in Eagles green.

If you find yourself in or near Philadelphia next Tuesday at five in the afternoon, get over to 1 North Broad Street to see the Masonic Temple’s public lighting ceremony.

From the few photos shared on social media this week, the temple’s new exterior lights look beautiful. “Let there be Light” and, with modern diode and gobo technologies, color and shape possibilities abound.

Grand Master Larry Derr and others will offer remarks before throwing the switch. Masons, our families, and the public are invited.

Looking ahead to the weekend, Pennsylvania Lodge of Research will meet at the far away Scottish Rite of Harrisburg. That’s Saturday the 13th at 10 a.m. From the publicity:


Program:

25-year gavel presentation by Bro. S. Eugene Herritt, RWPGM 

“Reflection on Knowledge” by Bro. Jack H. Speece

“A Very Queer Sorcery: The Anti-Masonry of James Shelby Downard” by Bro. J. Leavitt Pearl 

Lunch will be available ($20) after the meeting. 

2701 North Third Street, Harrisburg.
