"Observing the Craft" - Wednesday, October 26th @ 7:30pm


W:. Bro. Andrew Hammer is coming to Harmonie Lodge No. 699 on Wednesday, October 26th. He will be presenting a lecture based on his recent book, Observing the Craft: The Pursuit of Excellence in Masonic Labour and Observance.

This lecture is open to all Master Masons. The WM is requesting a $5.00 donation from non-members to help defray costs. Lodge opens at 7:30 p.m. Our traditional Festive Board will follow the lecture.

Observing the Craft is a manifesto of sorts for the observant Mason, who seeks quality over quantity in every aspect of Masonry. 

It is a stringent argument for the Symbolic (Blue) Lodge as the ne plus ultra of the Craft, asking that Masons put actions behind their statements that “nothing is higher than the third degree.”

It is a book that calls for nothing but the utmost personal effort and commitment to be put into the operation of a Masonic Lodge, and the experience of a Masonic meeting, in search of the transformational experience which Masons define as “making good men better.”
