[Web-master's note: It isn't considered proper for a non-Mason to wear a Masonic ring -- it indicates membership in an organization where one isn't a member. You could certainly keep it as a keepsake, and often a daughter or widow will wear a Mason's ring on a chain, since then is it more clear they are not claiming membership. Of course, you could always consider joining, which would probably have made him proud, and would solve the ring conundrum. Hope that helps.]
[Web-master's note: The people to ask are at the Grand Lodge of Ohio. You can find contact information for them from the Pointers section of my web-site. Best of luck.]
A very coworker who is a fundalmental Christian was making some statements about the Masons being satanic and cultist, based upon some information given her by a cousin after read a book.(I don't know the name or author) I have advised her that this is not true but wanted to have something the show her that was factual not one persons opinion.
[Web-master's note:The best source of
information I know about the anti-Masons, why they say what they say,
and the truth about their allegations can be found at www.MasonicInfo.com I hope
you'll take a look at that site and feel re-assured about your
cow-orker's ignorance of Masonry. (Personally, I think co-workers
who stick their beliefs in other people's business like that should be
asked to take it outside or to take a permanent vacation. We shouldn't
be challenged on our beliefs or conscience or freedom of thought at our
workplace. Why isn't that as inappropriate as other forms of
harassment?) ]
[Web-master's note: Nothing. It's a word, not an acronym. Anyone could make up something after the fact, but it's a very old word meaning stone-worker.]
