Brother Gerald Ford


Brethren, thanks to the Michigan Masonic Museum we at Dover Lodge proudly present a speech given by Brother Gerald Ford upon receipt of honors given by the Fraternity. Brother Ford was the 38th President of the United States of America.Our apologies for the audio quality, but given its age we believe you will find it relatively well preserved. Enjoy!

“When I think of the things right about America, I think of this Order.” – Brother Ford

Fraternal Greetings

The Worshipful Master and Brethren of Dover Lodge would like to extend our fraternal greetings to Worshipful Brother Adnan Nakhoda and the Brethren of Star of the South #101, chartered under the Grand Lodge of India AF&AM. We were indeed privileged to have  one of the past officers of Star of the South join us at our recent Antimasonry Roundtable educational event. We trust that the example set by our visiting Brother is indicative of the exceptional Brethren who carry the light of Masonry in Bangalore.

Look well to the East, Brethren of Star of the South!

Antimasonry Roundtable

All regular Master Masons are cordially invited to attend the Dover Lodge Antimasonry Roundtable! This significant educational event will take place on Saturday January 14th 2012 at 5:00pm EST at Dover Lodge.

The critics of Freemasonry use a variety of approaches in their attacks on our fraternity, and far too often our Brothers are without an answer. For many years a policy of silence was urged when faced with such attacks, but many Masonic scholars would posit that this has lead to further wild speculation. Come join us as we explore the various faces of Antimasonry, and lend your voice to a roundtable discussion on how best to respond to critical attacks.

Topics covered will include:

  • Exposees of Masonic Ritual
  • Denial methods of Masonic relevance
  • Religious objections to the Craft
  • Secret circles within the Fraternity
  • Conspiracy theories about Freemasonry’s aims
  • Prominent Antimasons and their tactics

PLEASE NOTE: all attendees must register here. Because we are serving dinner, we must have an accurate count of attendees. This event is open to Master Masons only of Lodges recognized as regular by the Grand Lodge of Ohio. Registration closes on January 13, 2012. Please bring a current dues card and identification for admission.

Do not miss this opportunity – register right away and join us for what stands to be an amazing night!
