From the Quarries

Good evening Quarrymen

In this weekend’s video, WBro. Harvey Lovewell explores the intricate relationship between religious fundamentalism and Freemasonry, delving into the roots of anti-Masonic sentiment and the reasons behind it. Lovewell scrutinizes the historical and contemporary contexts that have led to the vilification of Freemasonry by various religious groups, particularly those with fundamentalist or extremist ideologies. By defining key terms and examining the ideological clashes, Lovewell aims to shed light on why Freemasonry, with its principles of free thought and religious tolerance, is often perceived as a threat by those who adhere to rigid, dogmatic beliefs. This essay not only seeks to understand these antagonisms but also calls for a robust Masonic education to equip members with the knowledge to counteract such misconceptions.

Coming Saturday 10 August.
