Thu, 25 Oct 2018 12:36:46 +0000

Thank you to Bro. Aaron for suggesting this topic from our Patreon!

"My topic is the ideal Grand Lodge, but in a bit of a science fiction context.

It's 20 years in the future, and you find yourself in the new colony on Mars. At the point that there are three Lodges in this new colony, you and your Grand Lodge decide that the time has come to form a fully autonomous Grand Lodge on Mars, and you are to become its first Grand Master as well has having very nearly complete freedom in drafting its Grand Constitutions.

What priorities would guide your shaping of this new Grand Lodge, and what would you do in creating that Grand Lodge that would differ from those that came before it?"
