Until 1835 membership of a Company was the only avenue to the Freedom, or full citizenship, of the City of London.
When in that year the Common Council decided that the intervention of a Company should no longer be necessary, fears were expressed that the end of these ancient corporate bodies was in sight.
That this fear was groundless is seen in the great increase during the last century in the number of those entitled to wear the livery, or clothing, of their respective companies.

Television, rather than a place of worship, is where an increasing number of people find the expression of a world view which reflects what is of ultimate value to them, and which explains and supports their behavior and way of life.
She is the author of The TV Ritual: Worship at the Video Altar (Beacon, 1991); The Electronic Golden Calf: Images, Religion, and the Making of Meaning (Cowley, 1990) and numerous articles on various aspects of mass media.

 Maçonnieke encyclopedie
Musicians in the Middle Ages had their own gilds (as they have unions now), and in the course of time these became a fraternity in the sense that the local gilds had everywhere the same customs, and a member of one local gild could dimit to another could visit, and could find employment.
The details and reasons for this "Speculative" class of membership would have had the same weight with Freemasons of the earliest periods, and suggests the probability that Operative Lodges may have admitted a certain number of non-Operatives, or Honorary members, from the beginning of the Fraternity.
Until about the Fifteenth Century "musicians" and "minstrels" were used interchangeably, but it would appear that from the beginning there was a certain distinction between them in fact if not in name.
