The move of Steve from UGLE Malecraft Freemasonry to LDH Freemasonry is an example of how freedom to express views in harmony allows people to find their own places of comfort. With out the MFoL, Steve may never have been exposed to the concept of genderless Freemasonry. He certainly would not have had an opportunity to explore, discuss and see how Freemasonry works without a gender bias. Steves move is not a victory for Co-Masonry over Malecraft Freemasony. It is a Victory for the Freedom of Expression. Congratulations to Staffs and the Masonic Forum of Light for creating the harmony that enables people to share thoughts and ideas. Found this little quote which may apply to Steve's journey "Every time that you find in your books a tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter, the deeper the wisdom of the spirit" Moses Maimonedes (1135-1205 A.D,' ,

Yup, that's a very good quote from the Mo-man, and one I've never heard. Do you know in which work is it written?

I do think that sometimes some forumites do take pleasure in knocking FREEMASONRY, with cleverly worded posts that appear soft and fluffy, good luck Steve.
