Enlightened Thinking for a Sustainable World

The Masonic Fraternity is the oldest Fraternity in the world.  Freemasonry is a society of men whose goal is to improve themselves and the world around them by engaging in the practice and application of a system of moral and philosophical lessons. Enlightened thinking also plays a major role in Freemasonry. A classic example of such enlightened thinking can be found in the Royal Society, established in England circa 1660. Notable members of the Royal Society who strove to advance scientific thinking to make the world a better place included Sir Isaac Newton, Robert Boyle, Christopher Wren, Sir Robert Moray and Robert Hook.

 

Today, we have more pressing urgencies in the world than pure science. The way we conduct commerce and trade, the way we travel, the way we acquire and spend capital, the way we govern, the way we provide health care and the way we educate our children are all leading concerns in the world today. In short, the very sustainability of our world is now a growing issue.

 

At St. Andrew's Lodge we are cognizant of the issue of sustainability and make it a point to consider, discuss and even debate issues pertaining to sustainability.

 

If you are interested in learning more about the ancient moral and philosophical lessons of Freemasonry while at the same time engaging in enlightened thinking related to making the world a more sustainable place we would welcome you into our Lodge.

St. Andrew's Lodge has now crafted its own "Talking Stick". Throughout history, talking sticks have been commonplace at meetings. A person in a group wishing to initiate a discussion, takes the stick in hand and offers up his argument or position. Once finished, he holds the stick out and another member of the group wishing to speak takes the talking stick in hand and so on. The talking stick has so far made for some very interesting group discussion at St. Andrew's Lodge.
