M.L.R. meets at the Masonic Temple Building, 285 Whitney Ave, New Haven, CT.
Welcome!
to Masonic Lodge of Research on the Internet.
 The Masonic Law of Research is charted under the Grand Lodge of Connecticut A.F.&A.M. but differs from most Lodges in the state. MLR has only six meetings per year, and does not initiate candidates. Our meetings typically have a short, formal business portion followed by a presentation by a member or guest, or a discussion of Masonic topics.
Any Master Mason in good standing in the Grand Jurisdiction of Connecticut, or any of Grand Jurisdiction recognized by the Grand Lodge of the State of Connecticut A.F.& A.M, is eligible for membership, and is welcome to attend our meetings as a guest.
Some presentations given by Lodge of Research are open to a wider audience, and information about such events will be made available here as they are scheduled.
 Worshipful Brother Martin Ede, Master of the Masonic Lodge of Research, presents a lecture to Willis-St.s John Lodge #4 in Westt Hartford Connecticut.
W.B. Martin's presentation compared British and American Freemasonry, and explored the formation of the Grand Lodge of England out of the Ancients and Modern Lodges which were competing at the time. Many curious aspects of our dress and ritual are related to this subject,
On Saturday March 31st Brother Christopher Hodapp attended the Masonic Lodge of Research to be awarded the
James Royal Case Fellowship.
Brother Hodapp is a 33rd degree Mason, a noted author, scholor and spokesperson on Masonic subjects. He is best know for his groundbreaking Freemasons for Dummies (2005) and his appearances on The History Channel, Br Hodepp is the author of many books and articles.

The Morgan Affair was the beginning of a dark period for Masonry when many lodges closed, and the Anti-Masonry poitical party was created.
At our Sept. 25 th2 2011 meeting...
Our topic of discussion was "What IS a clandestine Lodge?" Several issues were touched on about Masonid 'regularity" and tolerance for differing standards around the world and at different points in time. These issues are becoming mor and more important as Masonry embraces electronic media.

Our topic for the discussion was on “The Origins of Freemasonry” The impetus for this is the
