 Masons told to choose the Lodge or the Church
Lithgow's Anglican Church Parish Council created divisions within the Lithgow community last December when a motion was passed calling on Freemasons and members of the Order of the Eastern Star to choose between those movements and continuing membership of the congregation.
In his motion to this week's Synod, Rev Winthrop requested the Synod to 'affirm that Freemasonry and Christianity are fundamentally irreconcilably incompatible; and affirms that Freemasonry teaches and upholds false religious and spiritual beliefs that are contradictory to biblical Christianity'.
Grand Master of the NSW and ACT Freemasons, Tony Lauer, said yesterday the resolution is pure discrimination, smacks of bigotry and religious fundamentalism and is a betrayal of all Freemasons who practice the Anglican faith.

 Article 6208 of alt.conspiracy Subject Nugan Hand Bank-More Grist for the Mill Keywords ba
Lithgow, a settlement about 90 miles inland of Sydney, had been of little previous significance to Western Civilization.
The claim letter from the 70 investors who lost $1.5 million says, "We were greatly influenced by the number of retired admirals, generals, and colonels working for Nugan Hand." One of the bigger mysteries surrounding Nugan Hand, the answer to which may be almost self-evident, concerns its branch in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Australia's Joint Task Force on Drug Trafficking released a four-volume report on Nugan Hand to Parliament in 1983, which determined that Nugan Hand had participated in two U.S. government covert operations; the sale of an electronic spy ship to Iran and weapons shipments to southern Africa, probably to U.S.-backed forces in Angola.
