Every year the Grand Lodge of California sends an audit report to all of its members. It's the Grand Lodge version of the

State of Union" address to the Masonic nation.

But what does it say?

Is it relevant?

Are the numbers accurate?

Join two Past Masters as they go over some of the data and give you their interpretation.

The Supreme curmudgeon and I discuss some current events in light of some of what we are charged with in the EA degree.

Have any of you given any thought to what it's like to be a mason in another country that has a dictator?

What would you do?

Let's explore this question together.

The Curmudgeon Supreme and I read an article called "The Old Charges of the Freemasons"

This article was written in the 1930s by a Mason who was one of the leading lights of his day.

Why don't more masons study these old charges?

Where can we get a hold of some of them?

When should Grand Lodges make it mandatory to study these foundational documents?

Would it even make a difference?

Let's find out.

Wolverines Grand Papi and I read a presentation given by Past Master John Bizzack called "The Great Masonic Can Kicking". This was a piece of research Worshipful Bizzack gave for the Rubicon Society and sheds light on the state of masonry going all the way back to 1778.

What will we learn?

Why is this important?

Where did all of our masonic problems and challenges begin?

Who knows about these problems?

How do we get out of this or should we even try?

Find out for yourself and let's explore this topic together.

Past Grand Master Dwight L. Smith breaks down the state of masonry and what he sees are the problems. What are we to do about the state of masonry because things have not changed all that much since 1965.

Can we save masonry or can masonry save itself?

What shall we do?

Past Master Jeff Bayer (Curmudgeon Supreme) and I begin reading another series of articles written by Past Grand Master of Indiana, Dwight L. Smith way back in 1964. It was a continuation or a follow up to his first article "Whither Are We Traveling?"

Did anything change since he published the first articles?

Did Masons pay attention?

Did Lodges begin to read these with their brethren?

Did Masons learn anything about what Freemasonry is not and what it is?

Let's find out.
