The 19-century English writer Thomas de Quincey wrote that
“Freemasonry is neither more nor less than Rosicrucianism as modified by those who transplanted it to England.” Was he right? In an upcoming lecture British historian and long-standing Mason Dr. Christopher McIntosh will examine this question and show how Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism have interacted in complex ways over the centuries. The resulting insights will fascinate both Freemasons and Rosicrucians alike. Friday, May 18th at 7:00pm, Oakland Scottish Rite Center. Cost: $20. Attire: Business Casual.
