An address presented to the Lodge at its Installation meeting on Tuesday November 2005 by the District Grand Master of the District Grand Lodge of Carpentaria R.W.Bro. Phil Starr.
I would like to thank the Wor.Bro. preceptor for the opportunity of presenting this Lecture.
Brethren, There have been many papers written by any number of very learned Brethren on the subjects of membership, the modern freemason and the necessity to change.
But Brethren, the most important topic of all is Education.
We know all of these subjects are necessary for the acquisition and retention of members, but, without education, the other subjects are just collections of writings.
Education is the practical concept of passing knowledge to people without that knowledge and for that to happen we must take practical steps not just make theoretical statements.
