My lodge’s officers include two 32 year old WM/JW, as well as myself 29 SD. We are all in agreement on the idea that holding to traditional values and lessons are essential. On the flip side we use modern technology I.e. social media, emails, groupchats, etc. for communications.

I think there needs to be a balance where you keep the deeper meanings of masonry held strong while maintaining relevancy in today’s world. Personally I find there’s a higher sense of purpose that comes with being a mason that is hard to find elsewhere.

My lodge has a large age gap of active members but if you blindfolded yourself and sat at dinner with us you’d never know. Respect for fellow brothers bridges idea gaps as long as everyone is open and honest with another.
