BBC tema

BBC sætter fokuser på frimureri i disse dage: Først en kort billedserie fra Freemason’s Hall i London (som jeg besøgte i april – bestemt værd at se, hvis man kommer forbi). Der har også været et indslag i Heaven and Earth, et program om tro. Efter sigende kom frimurerne noget i modvind, men vi må vente med at se det – programmet kommer online, men det lader til at deres arkiv kun sjældent opdateres.

Desuden radio-reportage fra en kvindelig loge: Women of the Lodge (artikel om samme program her). Logen hører under The Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Masons, der er så anerkendt af United Grand Lodge of England, som de kan blive:

Statement issued by UGLE - 10th March 1999:
There exist in England and Wales at least two Grand Lodges solely for women. Except that these bodies admit women, they are, so far as can be ascertained, otherwise regular in their practice. There is also one which admits both men and women to membership. They are not recognised by this Grand Lodge and intervisitation may not take place. There are, however, discussions from time to time with the women’s Grand Lodges on matters of mutual concern. Brethren are therefore free to explain to non-Masons, if asked, that Freemasonry is not confined to men (even though this Grand Lodge does not itself admit women).
