    Masons At The Battle Of Gettysburg

    Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Sheldon A. Munn of LaFayette Lodge #194, Selinsgrove PA.

Here, we find a telling of one of the greatest battles of the Civil War, in which there were Masons on both sides at the beginning, middle, and end.

    Movable And Immovable V39N3

    Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by Bro Conrad Hahn and first published in March 1961. “The furniture of a Lodge consists of 6 objects: 3 movable and 3 immovable.” Every Entered Apprentice hears this sentence within the lecture of the first degree, but we aren’t given instruction about how these came to be. Here we find an excellent discussion about this very subject. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

    Uniformity Of Ritual V35N5

    Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Carl H. Claudy and is brought to us by MW Bro Russ Charvonia, PGM – CA. I recently visited a Lodge a few towns away for the first time; they were giving an EA degree to a new member. There were a few details, in the degree and in the Lodge room, that were different than I am familiar with from my own home Lodge. While being mildly troubled by this, MW Bro Charvonia delivered this excellent Short Talk, which immediately put my mind at refreshment. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.

Astronomy and Geometry are closely linked in the liberal arts and sciences of Freemasonry. The Winding Stairs lecture, and these days less so The Dewdrop Lecture are an important part of the Fellowcraft degree. Here we find an excellent discussion about the what and the why.

    Standard Of Masonic Conduct V64N6

    Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode is adapted from a paper of the same name shared by the committee on Research and Education of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, and is brought to us by MW Bro Russ Charvonia, PGM – CA. It has been said that the purpose of Freemasonry is the pursuit of excellence. All of our teachings are directed towards excellence in the pursuit of our duties to God, our country, our neighbors and ourselves. The continuing effort to improve one’s self is the true mark of a Mason. Enjoy, and do share this and all of the Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
