Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem
The White Shrine of
Jerusalem was founded as a Christian auxiliary to freemasons in the United
States. There were 69,000 members in 1995. It appears this order is not active
outside the U.S.
The White Shrine of Jerusalem is yet another variety of Christianized Adoptive
Masonry — that is, Freemasonry for women. It is perhaps more congenial to
evangelically minded Protestant women than the Order of
the Eastern Star, though, until 1953, members of the White Shrine of
Jerusalem were required to be members of the Eastern Star.
