We look to the Future
While Remembering our Past
The officers and members of Masonic Lodge of Research are pleased to welcome any regular Mason to our meetings Research lodges are unique in several respects, but share with all Masonic bodies a common goal: to spread light and knowledge, Research lodges carry this goal forward by providing speakers and papers upon request to lodges and other bodies, by moderating panel discussions and debates on topics of Masonic interest, and even by preparing slide, videotape. and dramatic presentations for distribution among the craft.
Any Connecticut Master Mason is welcome to visit either or both research lodges; of course, he is also welcome to apply for affiliation with either or both lodges. Regardless of which a brother chooses, he will find an active lodge filled with interesting men who will be happy to guide his footsteps toward the specific arm of his interest. They also stand ready to assist if he chooses to prepare papers for use outside the lodge.
There are four classes of membership in these lodges; Associate, Active Research, Corresponding and Fellowship. All affiliates enter as Associate members, and advance to Active research members by producing a piece of original research, Corresponding members are for masons who are members of a recognized jurisdiction other than Connecticut. The Fellowship is an honor bestowed upon a Master Mason who has demonstrated outstanding scholarship in Masonry
Masonic Lodge of Research holds stated communications on 6 third Mondays of the year at the Newhaven Masonc Temple at 285 Whitney Ave.
Lodges seeking a program may contact either lodge's Junior Warden for assistance; by long-standing custom, that officer serves his lodge as its Program Chairman. |
