The Order of the Eastern Star is an adoptive rite of Freemasonry with teachings based on the Bible and objectives that are charitable and benevolent. The founder of OES was Dr. Robert Morris, a lawyer and educator from Boston, Massachusetts, who was a Master Mason and Past Grand Master of Kentucky. Dr. Morris intended his creation to become a female branch of Freemasonry, but he failed to overcome the great opposition this idea engendered. After his first published ritual in 1849-50, he became associated with Robert Macoy who wrote and published a ritual based on Morris' in 1867. The first Grand Chapter was organized in Michigan in the same year. (There is evidence for an organization of the same name founded variously in 1788 or 1793, but this group was defunct by 1867.) Subordinate (local) chapters operate under charter from state level grand chapters which are responsible to the General Grand Chapter at the International Eastern Star temple in Washington, D.C."; var ChapterHistory = "
The Clemmons Chapter of The Order of the Eastern Star was instituted on April 8, 1989, was constituted on June 30, 1990 and has remained active since that date."; var PurposeStatement = "
Our Purpose:
The stated purposes of the organization are: Charitable, Educational, Fraternal and Scientific; but there is much more to it than that. Dr. Rob Morris, the Poet Laureate of Masonry, founded the Order using beautiful and inspiring biblical examples of heroic conduct and moral values. These portray the noble principles which should adorn the personal lives of Eastern Star members. Eastern Star strives to take good people and through uplifting and elevating associations of love and service, and through precept and example, build an Order which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and loving kindness."; function Initialize() { CurrentContent = 'currentevents'; window.defaultStatus = 'ClemmonsOES.org'; ResetBlocks(); } function ScrollBanner() { var CurrentBanner = document.forms.Banner.Message.value; if (CurrentBanner.length < BannerMessage.length) { document.forms.Banner.Message.value = BannerMessage.substring(0, CurrentBanner.length + 1); } else { document.forms.Banner.Message.value = ""; BannerArrayIndex++; BannerMessage = BannerArray[BannerArrayIndex % BannerArray.length]; } if (CurrentBanner.length + 1 == BannerMessage.length) { timerID = setTimeout("scrollBanner()", 5000); } else { timerID = setTimeout("scrollBanner()", 100); } } function MessageWindow(title, height, width, message) { var win = window.open("", "", "top=" + (screen.height-height)/2 + ",left=" + (screen.width-width)/2 + ",height=" + height + ",width=" + width) win.document.open() var text = "" text += "" + title + "
