For Ontario Freemasons

[Father Bill]

Last night I read the communique to our DDGM from MW Bro Shand dated from just a few days ago. He asked the GS as our DDGM was always kilted in lodge.

So Rev., when you are proven wrong, will you publically admit it in this thread?

Absolutely, although I don't think it was "wrong" to say that I was wondering or that I'd check it out, just looking for more details because I'm very puzzled.

My own interpretation is that kilt can be a part of either a business suit or any other order of dress, and that indeed none of the orders listed talk about what is worn from the waist down.

I'm still very puzzled. The current Grand Master is a personal friend from many years back when we were both junior line officers. The Immediate Past Grand Master is known to have turned up kilted at a variety of events, although I do not know if he wore one in the open Lodge. I also note the existence of a registered Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario tartan.

It makes me wonder if my clerical collar should also be replaced by a tie.

It all seems very odd to me.
