Has Freemasonry Re-Commenced … Anywhere?
• John Zalewski, Secretary of the Altona Lodge, says: “I read your paper every day and appreciate all the news and information you supply, it’s a good read every day, but one that thing I note is that has there been anywhere in the world where we are moving back into Freemasonry as it was. Is there anywhere that things are returning to some sort of normal. Or is Freemasonry as we knew it previously a thing of the past. I look forward to your reply.”
• Editor replies: Let’s ask FVNews Daily readers for their answers.
