<p>Welcome to our special bonus episode, where Casey and I interview a friend of our show, Lon Tibbitts. In our previous episode we discussed at length the relationship between masonry and the development of the temple endowment in Nauvoo, a topic people have a lot of questions about. So we thought you might enjoy hearing from Lon Tibbitts, who has served both as an LDS ward bishop and as a master of his Masonic Lodge in Utah. Lon is a keen student of both Masonic and LDS history, and in this interview he sheds light on the origins of Freemasonry; on why so many Nauvoo Latter-day Saints joined the fraternity; on connections between Masonry and the endowment, the Relief Society, and the martyrdom of Joseph Smith; as well as the later fraught relationship between Freemasons and Latter-day Saints in Utah. We hope you enjoy it.</p>

An Interview with an LDS Freemason
