Book Synopsis Leading Masonic Organizations by : Ashley Moye
Download or read book Leading Masonic Organizations written by Ashley Moye and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2023-03-01 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Freemasons understand the dynamics of the York Rite, its structure, its interdependence and its complexities. This lack of knowledge has been detrimental to organizations, causing leadership pitfalls and years of counterproductive practices. Adverse practices start in the Lodge and the face of a struggling Lodge is often reflected in a struggling Chapter, Council and Commandery. Leaders repeatedly set the conditions and ignore the signs over and over again. This book brings forward the works of a York Rite success story. It relates a tough discussion about a need for change in how organizations might be formed in a more sustainable fashion. How might leaders build where they are, while building towards where they want to be? How can members recognize adverse practices, competing interests, conflict, and consequential struggles? How might leaders adapt practices to ensure continued membership growth and retention? The author suggests strategic approaches to building growth and improving retention and assessing organizational health and sustainability with the future of the fraternity in mind. This book is recommended for all Freemasons, and current leaders and aspiring members of the York Rite.

This book discusses fraternal politics through the lens of Freemasonry to help shed light on the troubling consequence of fraternal politics from lived experiences. To analyze the framework of our political system: consider the foundational teachings of Freemasonry and Masonic scholars’ warnings about man’s nature, consider authoritarian leadership behavior and its consequence, and to provide perspective as to moving forward from this political system for the good of the institution of Freemasonry. This book isn’t strictly about Masonry. If your organization has a leadership structure satisfied by political means and subject to human fallibilities, this book is also for you.

Download or read book Leading Masonic Organizations written by Ashley Moye and published by Gatekeeper Press. This book was released on 2024-04-10 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freemasonry’s mantra is “making good men better.” The principles of Freemasonry, however, are commonly orated in beautiful teachings that are often left open to individual interpretation or seen through a lens of misguided ideas and accepted rules. As a result, leaders are left ill-prepared for the challenges managing masonic organizations. Leading Masonic Organizations: A Cause to Make Good Men Greater discusses the state of the institution of Freemasonry from an organizational management perspective and takes a deep look into the tough Masonic realities of our time. Author and Freemason Bro. Moye offers a solution to Freemasonry’s leadership deficit and addresses the need for a member-centered value system and the development of service-oriented, strategic, and transformative leaders. If the institution of Freemasonry can elevate the membership experience and ensure its standing as the premier professional fraternal organization, a new mantra may be in order: “making good men greater.”
Book Synopsis Leading From the East by : Christophor Galloway
Download or read book Leading From the East written by Christophor Galloway and published by Perfect Ashlar Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-27 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 200 years, Masonic scholars have written about the need for innovation in Freemasonry to "save our fraternity." Within the pages of Leading From the East, resources and strategies will help Blue Lodge leaders identify their vision, attract new members from several different generations, and engage the new members who join. Additionally, the very same strategies will bring back those Brothers who have disengaged from our Craft. A Worshipful Master implemented the strategies presented in this book at a Blue Lodge that was in jeopardy of closing its doors forever and now that same lodge has a bright future. Finally, this book is also a call to action that Masonic leaders must take a new approach to keep Freemasonry around for another 300 years.

Book Synopsis American Freemasonry by : Alain de Keghel
Download or read book American Freemasonry written by Alain de Keghel and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the American Masonic system and its strengths and failings • Examines the history of Freemasonry in the United States from the colonial era and the Revolutionary War to the rise of the Scottish branch onward • Investigates the racial split in American Freemasonry between black lodges and white and how, unlike French lodges, women are ineligible to become Masons in the U.S. • Reveals the factors that have resulted in shrinking Masonic enrollment in America and explores the revitalization work done by the Grand Lodge of California Freemasonry bears the imprint of the society in which it exists, and Freemasonry in North America is no exception. While keeping close ties to French lodges until 1913, American Freemasonry was also deeply influenced by the experiences of many early American political leaders, leading to distinctive differences from European lodges. Offering an unobstructed view of the American system and its strengths and failings, Alain de Keghel, an elder of the Grand Orient de France and, since 1999, a lifetime member of the Scottish Rite Research Society (Southern U.S. jurisdiction), examines the history of Freemasonry in the United States from the colonial era to the Revolutionary War to the rise of the Scottish branch onward. He reveals the special relationship between the French Masonic hero, the Marquis de Lafayette, and the Founding Fathers, especially George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, including French Freemasonry’s role in the American Revolution. He also explores Franklin’s Masonic membership, including how he was Elder of the lodge of the Nine Sisters in Paris. The author investigates the racial split in American Freemasonry between black lodges and white and how, unlike French lodges, women are ineligible to become Masons in the U.S. He examines how American Freemasonry has remained deeply religious across the centuries and forbids discussion of religious or social issues in its lodges, unlike some branches of French Freemasonry, which removed belief in God as a prerequisite for membership in 1877 and whose lodges operate in some respects as philosophical debating societies. Revealing the factors that have resulted in shrinking Masonic enrollment in America, the author explores the revitalization work done by the Grand Lodge of California and sounds the call to make Freemasonry and its principles relevant to America once again.
Book Synopsis New Jersey's Masonic Lodges by : Erich Morgan Huhn
Download or read book New Jersey's Masonic Lodges written by Erich Morgan Huhn and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across New Jersey, thousands of men have entered through the doors of Masonic Lodge buildings, also known as "temples," over the fraternity's more than 250-year history in the Garden State. These buildings, from humble meeting spaces to elaborate single-purpose centers, stand tribute to the memory and influence of one of the oldest fraternities in the world, founded on the tenets of faith, hope, and charity. From governors and US Supreme Court justices to carpenters and stonemasons, Freemasonry has welcomed men from all walks of life, and the temples they built have played important roles in the civic, social, and charitable life of many towns. Although some lodges have been lost, many still remain and are presented here for the first time through photographs and images collected from various historical societies, museums, libraries, and Masonic organizations. This book attempts not to serve as an encyclopedic source but rather to catalog and organize the development of the Masonic temples in New Jersey.
Book Synopsis Masonic Temples by : William D. Moore
Download or read book Masonic Temples written by William D. Moore and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Masonic Temples, William D. Moore introduces readers to the structures American Freemasons erected over the sixty-year period from 1870 to 1930, when these temples became a ubiquitous feature of the American landscape. As representations of King Solomon’s temple in ancient Jerusalem erected in almost every American town and city, Masonic temples provided specially designed spaces for the enactment of this influential fraternity’s secret rituals. Using New York State as a case study, Moore not only analyzes the design and construction of Masonic structures and provides their historical context, but he also links the temples to American concepts of masculinity during this period of profound economic and social transformation. By examining edifices previously overlooked by architectural and social historians, Moore decodes the design and social function of Masonic architecture and offers compelling new insights into the construction of American masculinity. Four distinct sets of Masonic ritual spaces—the Masonic lodge room, the armory and drill room of the Knights Templar, the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and the Shriners’ mosque – form the central focus of this volume. Moore argues that these spaces and their accompanying ceremonies communicated four alternative masculine archetypes to American Freemasons—the heroic artisan, the holy warrior, the adept or wise man, and the frivolous jester or fool. Although not a Freemason, Moore draws from his experience as director of the Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library in New York City, where heutilized sources previously inaccessible to scholars. His work should prove valuable to readers with interests in vernacular architecture, material culture, American studies, architectural and social history, Freemasonry, and voluntary associations.

Book Synopsis Lost Keys of Freemasonry by : Manly P Hall
Download or read book Lost Keys of Freemasonry written by Manly P Hall and published by Lushena Books Incorporated. This book was released on 2022-02-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Hall, himself an honorary 33x Mason, reveals the profounder aspects of this ancient Fraternity which has been a source of inspiration to so many individuals through the centuries. The basic symbolism of the three degrees of the Blue Lodge is explained. The text can be read with profit by both new and old Masons, for within its pages lies an interpretation of Masonic symbolism which supplements the monitorial instruction usually given in the lodges. The leading Masonic scholars of all times have agreed that the symbols of the Fraternity are susceptible of the most profound interpretation and thus reveal to the truly initiated certain secrets concerning the spiritual realities of life. Freemasonry is therefore more than a mere social organization a few centuries old, and can be regarded as a perpetuation of the philosophical mysteries and initiations of the ancients. This is in keeping with the inner tradition of the Craft, a heritage from pre-Revival days. The present volume will appeal to the thoughtful Mason as an inspiring work, for it satisfies the yearning for further light and leads the initiate to that Sanctum Sanctorum where the mysteries are revealed. The book is a contribution to Masonic idealism, revealing the profounder aspects of our ancient and gentle Fraternity - those unique and distinctive features which have proved a constant inspiration through the centuries. Chapters Include: Chapter I - The Eternal Quest Chapter II - The Candidate Chapter III - The Entered Apprentice Chapter IV - The Fellow Craft Chapter V - The Master Mason Chapter VI - The Qualifications of a True Mason Epilogue
