Annual Lodge Church Service

Oh Yeah, You should wear it! Here in NH we have a ruling about wearing irregular?, I'm not certain that that is the exact word, clothing while conferring the degrees. I raised my best friend kilted, in front of the DDGM during his visitation and he thought it was great. I wear it a lot in Lodge.

As an aside, the story behind my friend is pretty cool. We went to a Scottish festival in Gould, Quebec. I ran into a brother Mason who I had never met before and struck up a conversation with him. My buddy had always ribbed me a little about belonging to that funny old group of stuffy old guys but when he saw me, in his words, "Meet someone for the first time and act as if you were old friends", he decided that there was something to this Masons thing after all. He'll be Master of his Lodge next year!

Anyway that's why I wore the kilt that day. as it turned out we had a bro. from Ayrshire who was wearing pants!

And he did a kilt check on me!

All in all it was a fantastic day

Wear it with pride and don't worry about being too flashy or showy. I really think most folks will appreciate it.
