"In what follows I do not address the divine origin of the temple ceremony. It seems reasonable to believe, and for my purposes to assume, that Joseph Smith was inspired in introducing the endowment. While there is room for belief, there is also room to accept the candor of Smith and others that there was a close connection between Freemasonry and Mormonism. Within this context, I discuss and analyze the thesis that the rituals of Freemasonry had some impact on the origin and development of the LDS temple endowment, and hopefully demonstrate that this is not only factually tenable but that early LDS leaders recognized this connection and did not consider it too sacred or controversial to discuss. In fact, Nauvoo Masons who took part in both rituals were much more comfortable discussing the relationship between the two than twentieth-century Mormons who are not familiar with the Craft."
