What this episode covers

What can Masons learn from the Fraternal Review 2021 Annual?In MM EP 69 of Masonic Muscle, I open a package in the mail and review the Southern California Research Lodge Fraternal Review 2021 Annual.This publication has been a serious light in Masonry for years. The Fraternal Review continues to bring in strong Masonic authors, researchers, writers, and thinkers from around the world, giving Brothers material that can actually strengthen lodge education and personal study.This episode solves one Masonic Muscle problem:How can Masons build stronger lodge education if they are not reading, discussing, and sharing better Masonic research?In this episode, I review the 2021 Fraternal Review issue topics, including:The Death of RitualThe Masonic Legacy SocietyKabbalah and FreemasonryThe Middle ChamberStoicism and FreemasonryThe American RevolutionThe Matrix and FreemasonryThe Top 10 Masonic Books of the New MillenniumBrotherly LoveReliefTruthI also mention:Distant Peaks: Masonic Meditations on the Writings of Marcus Aurelius by Jonti MarksWashington’s Secret Six by Brian KilmeadeUnited Grand Lodge of EnglandAmerican FreemasonryWhence Came You Podcast with Robert JohnsonThomas Smith WebbWilliam PrestonA serious Mason needs more than slogans.He needs books.He needs articles.He needs research.He needs discussion.He needs Brothers willing to read and think.The Fourth of July is not just fireworks and barbeque. It is a reminder to study liberty, revolution, responsibility, civic virtue, and the men who helped shape American Freemasonry.If Freemasonry is supposed to make good men better, then Masons need to become better readers, better thinkers, and better students of the Craft.Get the Fraternal Review through the Southern California Research Lodge at:theresearchlodge.comYou can now support Masonic Muscle through the donation option.
