[OSM-talk] How to tag a Rosicrucian lodge?

[Mike Collinson]

I suggest amenity=place_of_worship is indeed appropriate.  The Rosicrucians see themselves as a religion, as I understand it, and that should be good enough for us mappers.  Paraphrasing, if it claims to be a duck, it's a duck.  Getting involved in value judgements is a mine-field!
