Brethren.The South Australian Lodge of Research is a most appropriate forum to discuss inclusion of women in regular freemasonry.
In addition to other sources, I rely on the excellent works and wisdom of its previous Past Masters, and other Brothers of this Lodge who prepared a detailed submission to Grand Lodge, entitled Freedom of Movement regarding this issue.
South Australia itself has a history of international leadership in women's equality.
It is a State that perhaps due to its demographics, geographies and history that it lends itself to change. It is this need for change that I want to address.
To achieve this one has to deconstruct the premises (excuse the pun) on which the argument for excluding women has been built and to properly construct an edifice based on sound foundations.
