Hawaiian Lodge Fellowship Discussion - MAY 8, 2020
Aloha Brothers,
We hope you and your loved ones are in good health while we face a new challenge.
All Lodges in Hawaii are still Dark until further notice from both the government and the Grand Lodge. Just because our lodge is Dark doesn't mean we still can't meet at a distance.
[All rough ashlars must have within them the potential to be made into a perfect ashlar.
The stone must be made of sound material and have a minimum of character flaws which may cause it to weaken the edifice (building). It must be capable of being worked into a perfect stone. This is why candidates for the degrees are asked many questions as to their qualifications and character about why they wish to become Freemasons.
The candidate must have the potential to both serve and support the Fraternity. He must be carefully inspected, just as each Rough Ashlar is inspected for quality in order to be able to "fit" him into Freemasonry's tenets and goals, which are compatible to God's laws.
An imperfect stone may be made perfect, however major flaws are difficult to overcome and when assembled into a structure, the entire structure can be weakened from its improper use. This is as true of men as it is of stones.]
We would like to introduce our new Fellowship Activity: Exploring Symbols and Rituals.
The idea is that one of our brethren will introduce an aspect of the ritual that resonates with him, shares his thoughts on it, either from a research perspective or e.g., from a personal/emotional experience, what the symbol (and Masonry) has meant for him in his personal life, after which the floor will be opened for an ‘exchange of thoughts’.
Important here is that there is no RIGHT or WRONG. There will be no arguing or convincing. Just an exchange of thoughts ON THE LEVEL.
We would like to invite you for this Fellowship through a video chat room.
Topic: Rough and Perfect Ashlar. What does it mean to you?
Date: May 8, 2020
