Engineers' Lodge
Engineers' Lodge, No. 9493 meets four
times a year at the Masonic Hall, Ripley, Derbyshire, England.
Engineers' Lodge was founded by
brethren in Freemasonry whose profession is Engineering and whose combined
activities embrace many of its branches. It is fitting that the first Master
of the Engineers' Lodge belonged to one of its oldest branches of the profession,
Mining, and that the first candidate to be initiated and the first joining
member were engaged in two of its youngest, electronics and aviation.
Engineers and Freemasonry
From its earliest days mankind has
used his faculties of thought and reason to invent and construct. The genius
of our ancient forbearers is still seen in the form of the Pyramids,
Stonehenge, the aqueducts and the medieval cathedrals. The Volume of the
Sacred Law contains many references to such skill possessed by Noah,
Hiram Abif, and Tubalcain. In more recent times engineers have been able to
apply the principles of science to harnessing the latent energy of this
planet to give unbounded control of movement, force and speed. He is able to
fly like a bird, break loose from the confines of his terrestrial domain and
communicate with the planets.
