Masonic Internet Lodges; Freemason Reality or Blasphemy of The Ritual - S2 E65
Masonic Internet Lodges; Freemason Reality or Blasphemy of The Ritual
Internet Lodges; Reality or Blasphemy. Should Masonic Lodge Meeting move into the 21st century and allow online, secured, meetings to improve quality and participation? With members aging out and the more youthful members demanding the fraternity evolve more into the 21st Century, the question of the allowance of Internet Lodges has been posed in many masonic jurisdictions. This video gives you some factors to consider when making this decision:
Pros:
• Increased Accessibility: Online meetings can make it easier for members to participate, including those with physical disabilities or those who live far from the lodge.
• Flexibility: Online meetings can accommodate members' busy schedules, potentially increasing participation and engagement.
• Cost Savings: Moving meetings online can lead to cost savings on travel, lodging, and other expenses associated with in-person meetings.
• Wider Reach: Online meetings can attract new members who may not have otherwise been able to join due to geographic constraints.
• Enhanced Security: By using secured online platforms, lodges can maintain the confidentiality and security of their discussions and rituals.
• Adaptation to Modern Technology: Embracing online meetings can demonstrate an openness to incorporating modern technology into the organization.
Cons:
• Tradition and Ritual: Online meetings may dilute the traditional Masonic experience, which values in-person interactions and rituals.
• Reduced Camaraderie: The personal connections and camaraderie that in-person meetings often foster may be challenging to replicate online.
• Technical Challenges: Not all members may have the necessary technological infrastructure or proficiency to participate in online meetings.
• Privacy and Security Concerns: Ensuring the security and privacy of online meetings can be a complex and ongoing task, with potential risks if not managed properly.
• Lack of Physical Presence: Online meetings may lack the physical presence and symbolism that are integral to Masonic rituals and traditions.
• Bylaw Changes: Implementing online meetings may require changes to lodge bylaws and regulations, which can be a time-consuming process.
• Resistance to Change: Some members may resist the shift to online meetings due to a desire to maintain the status quo and uphold traditional values.
• Hybrid Challenges: Implementing a hybrid approach may introduce logistical complexities and require careful management to balance in-person and online components effectively.
Ultimately, the decision to move Masonic Lodge meetings into the 21st century and allow online meetings should be made with a thorough consideration of these pros and cons, as well as a deep understanding of the values and priorities of the specific lodge and its members.
