The Worshipful Master and Brethren of Dover Lodge would like to extend our fraternal greetings to Worshipful Brother Adnan Nakhoda and the Brethren of Star of the South #101, chartered under the Grand Lodge of India AF&AM. We were indeed privileged to have one of the past officers of Star of the South join us at our recent Antimasonry Roundtable educational event. We trust that the example set by our visiting Brother is indicative of the exceptional Brethren who carry the light of Masonry in Bangalore.
Look well to the East, Brethren of Star of the South!
All regular Master Masons are cordially invited to attend the Dover Lodge Antimasonry Roundtable! This significant educational event will take place on Saturday January 14th 2012 at 5:00pm ESTat Dover Lodge.
The critics of Freemasonry use a variety of approaches in their attacks on our fraternity, and far too often our Brothers are without an answer. For many years a policy of silence was urged when faced with such attacks, but many Masonic scholars would posit that this has lead to further wild speculation. Come join us as we explore the various faces of Antimasonry, and lend your voice to a roundtable discussion on how best to respond to critical attacks.
Topics covered will include:
Exposees of Masonic Ritual
Denial methods of Masonic relevance
Religious objections to the Craft
Secret circles within the Fraternity
Conspiracy theories about Freemasonry’s aims
Prominent Antimasons and their tactics
PLEASE NOTE: all attendees must register here. Because we are serving dinner, we must have an accurate count of attendees. This event is open to Master Masons only of Lodges recognized as regular by the Grand Lodge of Ohio. Registration closes on January 13, 2012. Please bring a current dues card and identification for admission.
Do not miss this opportunity – register right away and join us for what stands to be an amazing night!

Brethren of Dover Lodge, for the 2012 Masonic Year we have designated the third Thursday of every month to be “Builders’ Night”. This is a completely optional meeting that will start at 7:30pm, and will serve as a forum for degree practice, education, discussion or study. The dress code is casual (but respectable) and tyled Lodge will NOT be opened with the exception of when a special meeting is called to confer the Master Mason Degree.
Please come take advantage of this time, which is designated to focus on building each and every one of us into strong Masons.
Brethren, Dover Lodge will continue to hold its Stated Meeting on the first Thursday of every month at 7:30pm. Please join us as we go about working in Masonry!
The Brothers of Dover Lodge are embarking on a trip to the Detroit Masonic Temple! This magnificent edifice saw its cornerstone laid in 1922 and was completed 4 years later. It stands as one of the most awesome structures in our fraternity – and we’ve been fortunate enough to secure a private tour! Please join us on Saturday November 12th 2011 for this amazing journey.
The schedule of the day is as follows:
8:45a – meet in the Dover Lodge parking lot for carpool arrangement 9:00a – depart for Detroit, with rest stops along the way 1:00p – begin the private tour 3:30p – depart for Dover Lodge 7:30p – Special Dover Lodge education session – We will continue our study of the “Most Secret” degrees as recorded by Berage in 1766A.D. with degrees 4 and 5. Brothers who have seen the first three will tell you that these lost degrees are not to be missed! They have been painstakingly translated from French, and shed an amazing light on Masonic thought in the 1700s. The session and dinner will be served at Dover Lodge.
Master Masons only please. This will be a day not to be missed!
Not a Dover Mason but wish to join us? Please reach us here and let us know you’d like to be a part of this amazing day!
