Dear Readers: Welcome to The Philalethes Society, North America’s oldest and largest international masonic research and education society. Our website is currently undergoing many changes and over the coming months we hope to give you greater information and new masonic educational opportunities. Come back often. The Society has been in existence for 80 years and since 1946 we have published The Philalethes magazine. Our new editor, Shawn Eyer, is putting out the new quarterly magazine and we hope to have it in the hands of our over 2200 members by November 1st. You will find this to be an expanded (44-page) issue in full color with more high quality masonic education papers. We welcome the submission of quality papers at any time and encourage you to contact our editor with your submissions. Our 82nd Annual Philalethes Society Feast and Forum will be coming on Friday-Saturday, March 5-6, 2010 to Minneapolis Minnesota. An outstanding array of masonic speakers will be joining us including - Robert Davis, FPS, from Oklahoma; Scott Wolter, petrologist and author of “The Hooked X” – a new study on the Kensington Runestone and masonic connections to the early history of North America; John Belton, MPS, of England speaking on European Continent and Recognition Issues; Jose’ Siexus, MPS, speaking on Freemasonry’s influence in Brazil and South America, and Thomas C. Jackson, MPS, speaking on Fraternities and the Fraternity: Places of Dialogue and Opportunity. Our evening banquet speaker will be Trevor Stewart of Scotland, member of Quator Coronati Lodge and former Prestonian lecturer. He will be presenting “The Curious Case of Bro. Gustav Petrie’.” More details and information on registering are on these web-pages. The Philalethes Society is in the midst of significant new initiatives to enlarge our mission of sharing good masonic research and education on all aspects of our history, philosophy, symbolism, ritual and current topics. We invite you to join us. As a member benefit for a new or renewed membership for 2010, we are sending a free copy of our latest book “FIAT LUX.” This is a must read of the very best presentations we have reprinted from the first thirty years of our magazine. If I can answer any of your questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call or email me at any time. May your search for masonic enlightenment bring you many happy days. Sincerely and fraternally yours, Terry L. Tilton, FPS, President 2009-2011 |
