Calendar of Upcoming Events

 

Monday, November 7, 2011 at 7 pm, Café de Paris, Columbia, MD:   Bro. and MMRS PP Brent Morris, 33’,  will speak on “Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry” at the Café de Paris  in Columbia, MD.  This should be quite enlightening for those who seek to understand or more fully understand the meaning and symbolism of all that now remains of the wisdom, art and literature of the ancient world and the different paths. 

 

In 1638, Henry Adamson in his The Muses’ Threnodie linked the “Mason Word” and “brethren of the Rosie Crosse.” In 1766, the ceremonies of “Knights of the Sword and of Rose Croix” were published, and in 1801 the Mother Supreme Council of the Scottish Rite included among its degrees, 18°, Rose Croix. Something seems to be going on! 1866 saw the creation of the Societas Rosicruciana In Anglia (SRIA), a nine-degree organization for Master Masons emphasizing mystical approach to Freemasonry.  In 1880, the Societas Rosicrucians in Civitatibas Foederatis (SRICF) was formed. Bro. S. Brent Morris, IX°, is the Chief Adept of Maryland College SRICF, and will talk on the history of Masonic Rosicrucianism.

 

January 21, 2012, Saturday, Mt Moriah in the Baltimore area

Ed Johnson, Past Master of Pentalpha Lodge 194, member of the Scottish Rite Research Society, and current President of the Maryland Masonic Research Society will offer a presentation based on a paper he authored that was recently published by the Scottish Rite Research Society in The Plumbline. The thesis of the paper is that Albert Pike was influenced by Voltaire on the subject of toleration. As part of the presentation, Mr. Johnson will provide some historical context for Voltaire’s writings on the subject of religious tolerance to include his famous A Treatise on Toleration. In addition, specific comparisons will be provided that demonstrate correlations between Voltaire’s essay and Pike’s 10 th degree lecture.
