The Royal Philanthropic Lodge
 

June 3rd marks the tri-centennial anniversary of The United Grand Lodge of The Ancient Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of England. To celebrate the occasion, the District Grand Lodge of Trinidad and Tobago, which falls under this group, participated in an interfaith service at the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Port of Spain. It was there that retired Reverend Calvin Abdullah outlined the similarities between both groups, and reaffirmed the Anglican Church's respect for the body. Janine Browne reports.
