As an update to my earlier post, we had a fruitful dialogue last night (09/20/07) with several representatives from the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The Grand Master of Ohio, Most Worshipful Brother Michael Himes, had grown understandably concerned about our lodge after seeing and hearing numerous claims about our activities. Although the dialogue is just getting started, the meeting went a long way towards dispelling some myths and hopefully assuaging some of the concerns on the part of the Grand Lodge of Ohio.

I am looking forward to continuing this dialogue with our Grand Master and/or his appointed representatives as we strive to revitalize Masonry as something both relevant and appealing in the 21st Century. As long as we maintain a spirit of cooperation, the future looks very bright at Halcyon #498.
