25 Masonic Videos Now Available on DVD from www.masonictv.com

      Capstone Productions Inc. announces that 25 professionally produced Masonic TV documentaries and informational programs are now available on DVD. "All these TV programs are still available on VHS tape, but with requests for videos on DVD coming from all over the continent, it was clear we had to create DVDs of these popular Masonic TV programs," said Jackson Polk, Executive Producer of Capstone Productions Inc.

      Masons and Masonic friends are invited to review the online catalogue at www.masonictv.com and find out more about these classic Masonic documentary and interview programs. Any one of the videos would make the perfect addition to a Lodge program, and all are suitable for viewing by families, candidates and the public. No ritual work is included in the programs.

      The 25 programs now on DVD can be purchased at www.masonictv.com by credit card, PayPal, or mail order. Each DVD program is priced at $22 (plus sales tax on orders shipped to Texas) and $5 shipping per order. The Masonic videos are also available on VHS tape for $20 each plus tax and shipping.

      The online catalogue at www.masonictv.com includes a wide variety of programs. Some examine the history of the Masonic Fraternity over the last three centuries while others answer its contemporary critics through the words of legendary Mason John J. Robinson.

      Five programs feature cornerstone ceremonies at the White House and U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. A three-video series examines the early influence of the Masonic order in the United States, with an emphasis on Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Capitol Building. Another program takes viewers to a lecture before the U.S. Capitol Historical Society as an author uses visuals to make a compelling argument that the U.S. Capitol Building represents, in stone, the three degrees of Freemasonry.

      A popular program, "George Washington and the Temple of Democracy," reenacts the events of Sept. 18, 1793, when the country's first president helped lay the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol Building. The video follows President Washington as he journeys by horse-drawn coach from Mount Vernon, boards a boat to cross the Potomac River to Georgetown, then leads a procession of Masons up Pennsylvania Avenue in the capital city. Two hundred years later, five broadcast cameras catch the action of this colorful and historically accurate reenactment, including the firing of U.S. Army cannons. The 24-minute program is an educational and entertaining way to present an important day in Freemasonry's history.

      A ten-program series called "Masonic Conversations" features the thoughts and insights of ten Masonic scholars. Each half-hour TV programs includes one Masonic scholar and the topic of his choice. Recorded live on location at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia, the conversations cover a wide range of topics relating to Masonic history and philosophy.

          All the Masonic programs now available at www.masonictv.com were recorded and produced by professional broadcast journalists. The high-quality TV production is enhanced by the stunning clarity of video on DVD.
