Whence Came You? - 0624 - A Symbol for a Temple

Whence Came You? - 0624 - A Symbol for a Temple

Author: Robert Johnson January 29, 2024 Duration: 29:33

This week we're reexamining the concept of a Temple versus a Lodge. What is proper? Does it even matter? Then we're putting on our Masonic glasses and taking a look at one of the most enigmatic pieces of architecture ever constructed--the Sphinx. What can the Sphinx reveal to the Freemason? Thanks for listening and have a great week!
