So my brother-in-law is a Mason and a Shriner. This past weekend I asked him about the content of this video, having seen it before. First, you no longer need to be a 33rd degree Mason to be a Shriner. Due to the decline in membership they are letting any Mason be a Shriner. More importantly he said there was no praying to Ala at the induction ceremony as the video indicated. He laughed and said nearly all the Shriners he knows are all Christian. None would ever pray to Ala.
