"Observing the Craft" Author Coming to Cattaraugus District

Worshipful Brother Andrew Hammer, Past Master of Alexandria Washington Lodge #22 in Virginia and author of "Observing the Craft: The Pursuit of Excellence in Masonic Labour and Observance" will be coming to the Cattaraugus District courtesy of the 309 Society and Enchanted Mountains Lodge #252, F&AM in Olean, New York.

From the website http://observingthecraft.com/:
"Observing the Craft is a manifesto of sorts for the observant Mason, who seeks quality over quantity in every aspect of Masonry. It is a stringent argument for the Symbolic (Blue) Lodge as the ne plus ultra of the Craft, asking that Masons put actions behind their statements that 'nothing is higher than the third degree.' It is a book that calls for nothing but the utmost personal effort and commitment to be put into the operation of a Masonic Lodge, and the experience of a Masonic meeting, in search of the transformational experience which Masons define as 'making good men better'."

WBro. Hammer will be presenting his lecture at Great Valley Lodge in Great Valley, New York on Wednesday, March 21st at 7pm.
