We are in the process of changeing software from Lifetype to Wordpress. Wordpress is a much more robust and featured package that will allow more flexibilty. 

It will also give us a mobile site (iphone android etc) along with better spam control. I have been inundated with spam for the last few months and finally decided it was time to upgrade. If I didn't know that the brethren of Grand Lodge were such technophobes, I would have suspected that they were behind it.

I would and could make the new site available today (it is at www.masonic-crusade.com/wordpress if you want a peek) but I have not decided how to handle the old site and posts. There is history there that I don't want to lose. Once I work that out, the site will be live....

Anyways watch for the new site soon!

The new Grand Master of Pennsylvania has introduced a new program for this year. 

According to an article posted at the Freemason for Dummies website that states: "Well, much of that is changing this year. R∴W∴B∴ Thomas K. Sturgeon, Grand Master for 2010/2011 has announced an ambitious slate of changes for the upcoming year, under the aegis "21st Century Renaissance."

Take the time to read the article, and you will note that many of the changes are similar to the "Wheeling Reforms" that were legally voted on  and passed here in West Virginia (regardless of what Jerry Lewis espoused his year as Grand Master).

I find it interesting that other jurisictions allow the Grand Master to make sweeping changes without fear of reprisal. Here a legal vote was taken and the majority of the brethren present voted in the affirmative and PGM Haas was still expelled for having the vision to publish his agenda and allow a vote of the brethren.

Freemason for Dummies has posted an article indicating that there has been a summary judgement in the Grand Lodge of Ohio case against Halcyon lodge. 

The details can be read here

While this case is VERY different from our cause, it is just another indication that the courts are quite willing to look at masonic law and  render a decision.

Regardless of the disinformation that is currently being spread, the civil court is the next step when an organization oversteps its authority and refuses to follow its own rules.
