My father was a Master Mason and a member of the Shrine. All of the men that I met through my participation in Rainbow Girls and Eastern Star were decent, upstanding, Christian and Jewish leaders of the community. They expected, nor settled for nothing less. I don't know of any other religions that were involved, but there probably are, these days.
No other organization, besides the Shriners, does more for children in this country. The burn and orthopedic hospitals that they fund are the best in the world. No child ever gets turned away-and that includes some college aged people, too. You have to be a Mason, before you can join the Shriners.
