Not everyone understands fraternalism or takes the groups at face value.  The suspicion of Freemasonry by the Roman Catholic Church is well known.  Lesser known is the skepticism of so-called "secret societies" by Evangelical Christians.  In response to a listener question, we asked Paul Michaels (not his real name), an Evangelical pastor, to come on the podcast and shed some light on why some Evangelical Christians are highly suspicious of Odd Fellowship and other fraternal groups.  By keeping him anonymous we were able to get candid and honest answers about why Evangelicals distrust Odd Fellowship as an institution.  Some of the answers were apparent but others were quite surprising!  The Shoutout goes to a new Canton in Florida: General George Washington #70 of Miami.  In the Odd Podge, Mike shares the publication of his new book, Paul talked about his passion for cemeteries and "The Good Cemeterian," and Toby recalled his visit to the Easter Egg Hunt at the Olympia Odd Fellows Park.
