Dan Brown Letter to Freemasons

http://durhamfreemasons.org/Download/Misc%20Documents/Dan%20Brown%20letter%2006%20Oct%202009.pdf

I find that a very nice letter. It is one with which it is hard to disagree.

An interesting point, of my friends who are masons, and others in my own obedience who have read the book; they heartily recommend it on vareious levels, not just that it is a good novel.

One friend who is also a living historian has likened Dan Brown's books to Allan W. Eckert's ( Frontiersman, Wilderness Empire, and the Conquorers Not to mention That dark and Bloody River ) http://www.allaneck.com/publications.html

I do believe I will have to go get some books.

I have read the book and could find nothing therein that I found to be offensive to myself as a Freemason. Some of the terminology etc that Brown uses may sound strange to some Brethren if they are not aware of the differences in other Constitutions, but all in all he does not do Freemasonry down. Indeed this book may encourage some people to apply to become Freemasons which in these days of Lodges going dark is no bad thing.

Indeed this book may encourage some people to apply to become Freemasons which in these days of Lodges going dark is no bad thing. I don't think that this letter is an apology, for what I read he thnks the Council of the 33 for the invitation and he declares that Freemasorny is a interesting topic for him. For the proposer, I think that finding one shouldn't be too difficult. SW, Kensington Lodge 1767ASJ Chapter Forum 4423 New Era Mark Lodge 103

I agree with the Doctor: if he joins I think they'll give him the honorary 33rd within a week. SW, Kensington Lodge 1767ASJ Chapter Forum 4423 New Era Mark Lodge 103
