Teaching Our BrothersOur ritual is of an allegorical nature
The meanings are not immediately clear
Subdue our passionsOpen, read the minutes, pay the bills, talk about a couple of business items, close lodge, drink some coffee and visit for a few minutes and go home.The same ole same ole
It’s killing us.

Masonic Education Committee
Every Lodge needs to make use of the Masonic Education Committee
One of the standing committees the Master must appoint each year

Masonic Education Should be Part of Most Lodge Meetings
Get Masonic Education put on the Agenda with consent of the Master
![Page 6: Facilitating Masonic Education - kansasmason.org · These are ready made Masonic Education, and there are over 1000 of them Complete Idiots Guide to Freemasonry ... Freemasonry for](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042310/5ed74bc8c079a63280580379/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But we don’t have time for Masonic Education!
Consent Agenda:
Minutes of last meeting.
Normal bills.
Treasurers report.
Communications (other than Grand Lodge)
All published and provided prior to the meeting.
Now you have 15 to 20 minutes for Masonic Education!
