The Masonic Roundtable - Freemasonry Today for Today's Freemasons

This week, Jon shares updates to membership forecasts. Are we getting better or worse? What does that mean for the future of Freemasonry? Are we still on track for 2040?

Freemasonry has long been a path of self-improvement, guiding men to refine their character, wisdom, and actions. In this episode, we explore if and how Masonic teachings and principles can help shape a better, more enlightened version of yourself. Why do we focus on personal growth in the first place?

DOGE has created waves (good and bad) looking for improvements in the U.S. Government. Similarly, even large organizations such as Freemasonry could stand to optimize and find efficiencies based on how their per capita assessments are being used. What would that look like? Can we do parts of that today? 

What is the object of our affection? Let's discuss the physical, quantum, spiritual, philosophical, and symbolic aspect of the one thing we are all striving for. Light.
