Old and New . . . Tradition, History, and Promise!
"Something old; something new ...." were among the words used by Robert L. Dluge, Jr., R.W. Grand Master, to define his philosophy for progress for Masonry in Pennsylvania.
Freemasonry in Pennsylvania aims to grow in the twenty-first century by accepting new ideas, new technologies, and new emphases that come with each new generation and combining them with the old that's tried and true. While benefitting from all that is good about growing with the times, Freemasons must never forget -- certainly never abandon -- their Fraternity's unique history, tradition, protocol, and pride that have been nurtured, protected, and passed Brother-to-Brother from generation to generation for nearly three centuries. History, tradition, protocol, and pride are more than nostalgia; they are landmarks that bond Freemasons into the greatest Fraternity ever known.
With this issue, The Pennsylvania Freemason is introducing "Did You Know? ... Facts About Freemasonry," a feature of vignettes that will recollect, define, and explain many of the special and unique terminologies, customs, protocols, and points of history of Freemasonry, especially in Pennsylvania.
