The DaVinci Code


This book is, if nothing else, a great read. From start to end, it kept you wondering. The opening pages alone take you through a breath-taking tour of the Louvre in Paris.

While not proclaiming to be yet another exposé of Freemasonry, it nonetheless has several Masonic references within it.

Some of you may have read "The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail", published in 1982. If you have, a lot of the ideas put forth in this book will not be new to you. In fact, the similarities are so obvious that the authors of the above book are suing Dan Brown for infringement of their ideas. You can follow a link for this lawsuit here.. http://www.washtimes.com/world/20051022-104522-2038r.htm

Nonetheless, it brings to the forefront the ideas that were expressed in the original 1982 non-fiction novel. For those who have not read either book yet, I will not spoil things by revealing the contents here.. But for those who have read either book, what do you think about the ideas they propose? Are they out to lunch, or is there something to it?

Welcome to our Lodge's blog!

Technology has afforded us an unprecedented opportunity to communicate. Blogs are one such advancement. To that end, I have attached this blog to our Lodge's website in the hopes that Brethren might come and make comments on several topics of interest.

Cheers!
S&F,
