“There are two peculiar pieces of equipment in a Masonic lodge that have no explanation in our ritual. Masonic scholars have reached no conclusions as to the origin, function or purpose of the wardens’ columns.” 

This week we dive into the writings of John L. Cooper III, author of “The Questing Mind is a Salient Characteristic of a Freemason.” Before being elected the 10th Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of California in 1991, John was a leader in public education. In 2013, he became the first Past Grand Secretary to be elected as Grand Master in California. 

“John knows that everyone is capable of learning, and he has a way of making it so interesting that many of us are more motivated to learn and share than we might have been without knowing him.” -Allan L. Casalou 

It’s an all-new Minnesota Masonic Histories & Mysteries.
