X-Oriente

Shameless blog rolling

Greg Stewart, sent me a link to his blog, Masonic Traveler, in which he wrote a very nice review of X-Oriente. I did a little reading and found that it is a pretty good Masonic read! Please check it out!

Episode 011: It's About Time Part II

Listen Now

Recently, a special task force from the Masonic Information Center (MIC), part of the Masonic Service Association published a paper called "It's About Time! Moving Masonry into the 21st Century" This paper is different and important. It's the first paper I've read in a long time that takes a truly critical look at the problems of our fraternity without a partisan position. It dovetails nicely with the goals here at X-Oriente, so we're going to take an in-depth look at the paper in its entirety. This is part 2 of a 3-part series.

The greatest Father's Day present one can get is the privilege of being a Dad. Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.

Episode 11 is on the way!

It's been a very hectic month what with all the travel I've been doing, but I finally got to sit down for a few minutes and record part 2 of "It's About Time!" I will edit it on Sunday after Father's day Festivities and hopefully it will be on your 'pod by Monday morning!
