He makes some good points, which point to the ideal of remembering the very foundational aspects of our fraternity. There is the real possibility that whatever "purpose" or strong cultural element a lodge has would dilute attention to the more fundamental nature of Masonry. <br /><br John R.

Lodges for many years became complacent because they were the only game in town. Now, many lodges are sharing buildings and each lodge needs to find a reason to exist.<br /><br />I also agree with Bro Jack because many lodges, not only theme lodges, have lost the why in Freemasonry.
