Grand Lodge Response

Sometime ago I wrote a post about the anonymous manila envelopes that have been placed on the lodge room doors. You can read it here.

Now the Grand Lodge has sent out the following:

Subject: A Note From Grand Master Levay

 

Dear Brother, It appears our detractors have decided to attack us here in Iowa .  I have been made aware that a document is being posted on the doors of some lodges detailing their assertion that Masonry encourages the worship of Satan.  I also received an anonymous letter making the same assertions.  Brethren if you encounter an individual doing this please, please, please do not accost them or respond to them in any way.  Ignoring the ignorant is probably the best policy on this one.  I am always struck with the thought that if it wasn’t for the influence of our Masonic forefathers at the time of the formation of our constitution, these people wouldn’t even have the right to form the churches that espouse this garbage.  At least we stand up for what we believe and not hide behind anonymous accusations posted as though by a thief in the night. Fraternally, Jerry L. LevayGrand Master of Masons in Iowa

Seem like good advice to me.
