Can an LDS Member Become a Mason? 👆 Full Video

Lon discusses the historical tensions between Freemasonry and the Latter-day Saints in Utah, noting that approximately 10% of Masons in the state are members of the church. He highlights the complex relationship that developed over time, particularly due to the involvement of federal judges like A.O. Strickland, who were sent to Utah to enforce laws against polygamy, leading to strained interactions between the church and Masonic authorities.

The acceptance of Latter-day Saints into Masonic organizations in Utah only occurred in 1984, marking a significant shift in the relationship. Lon reflects on how historical context, including the imprisonment of church leaders by federal officers, shaped the dynamics between these two groups. This narrative underscores the evolving nature of their interactions and the eventual reconciliation that allowed for shared membership.
