Lodge Education



I've been reading about lodge education. Tonight the officers are going to be giving the EA lectures from our state; I'll sit in and see if I can help since I'm in town, and because I want to help out when I can.

In the GL magazine (http://www.grandlodgemi.org/from-point-to-pointe.cfm) there's a request for Lodge Education Officers to contact the state LEO; only about 10 -15% of our lodges seem to have these officers.

My natural inclination is to ask, "how can I help". But I was raised less than two months ago, so I don't think I have the experience to teach Masonry.

It's almost a forgone conclusion that I'll take a chair next year. The question is, which one? Hopefully the JD will move up (he doesn't want to). If not, I'll take SD -- but that will be a lot of work. With JD I'll have the time to do a little more, maybe with the Scottish Rites; maybe with our LEO -- if we get one.

So how was the lecture Bro? I'm always interested in hearing about how other lodges perform education nights. Sadly mine is a bit lacking but I've been traveling a lot and have a lot of ideas to propose.

You might find it worthwhile to look at a couple of free downloads on my site, that address Masonic Education. My site is www.thesquareandcompasses.com ; on the site, just go to the Free Downloads page, and the Masonic Education articles will be easy to find. Be well.
