Fascinating article.

I am a little confused by the following:

Good men of other religions (Jews, Moslems, Hindus, etc.) believing in Deity may become Scottish Rite Masons.

I was under the impression that belief in a deity, period, was "sufficient". I got the impression that being a member of a particular religion was not a requirement of the Scottish Rite. Have I got that wrong?

I didn't anticipate the local lodge (Bend, OR) showing up and doing the rites for my father.

I have considered joining over the years but am absolutely convinced that I would never be able to memorize what needs to be memorized.
