East Kent’s Septum Lodge hosted Brethren from the Friederich Zur Vaterlandsliebe Lodge no. 5817 in Koblenz, Germany.
Included in their itinerary was a visit to the Kent Museum of Freemasonry and its library. Worshipful Master Willie Beckmann expressed his delight at the unparalleled experience offered by the museum, and the visitors were fascinated by the Masonic history and heritage on display.
Visually impaired member Alex Walter was shown a Past Master’s Collar Jewel featuring a Braille inscription of the Stella Maris Lodge in East Kent, and Curator Ron Carter revealed a ritual book written in Braille – a first for Alex who had previously relied on auditory learning.
The visit stands as testament to the museum’s values of unity, inclusivity and enlightenment.
