Masonic Lodges Move Freemason Meetings to Zoom

In this episode of the Old Fashion Masonic Podcast, Freemasons engage in a lively debate on a modern Masonic dilemma: Should Masonic lodge meetings be allowed on Zoom or other virtual platforms? With the rapid rise of remote work and virtual communities, even the centuries-old traditions of Freemasonry are facing new questions about digital adaptation.

Pros of Virtual Meetings
- Accessibility: Members in remote areas, those with health issues, or time constraints would be able to participate without needing to attend physically.
- Convenience: Virtual meetings can foster more frequent gatherings, increasing engagement and communication among members.
- Modern Relevance: Embracing technology could appeal to a younger demographic, helping lodges stay relevant in a digital world.

Cons of Virtual Meetings
- Security & Privacy: Broadcasting lodge meetings could pose risks of unauthorized access, compromising the secrecy and privacy traditionally valued in Freemasonry.
- Loss of Tradition: In-person meetings foster ritual, camaraderie, and focus that can be difficult to replicate online, possibly diluting the experience.
Potential for Disconnection: Virtual gatherings may reduce the sense of community, lacking the personal interactions and atmosphere that make lodge meetings special.

We get these questions often: What does the mysterious secret society of Freemasons actually do? Does this episode expose freemasonry and masonry? What about The New Order and The Illuminati? Is there a whole Secret world of Freemasons? We think not.
