Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by RW Bro Richard C. Freedman and RW Bro Glen K. Rueben, both of the GL of NY, and is brought to us by RW Bro Tim Martel, PDDGM 14th, Maine. Our ritual is a catalyst for Masonic thought, philosophy, and the understanding of Masonic history. Like an immigrant to a new country, a candidate must learn the language to more fully understand the customs and meanings in their new home. Here we find an excellent discussion of this topic. Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
