Proposal to Transform Freemasonry (1 December 2006.)
Over the last century, governments have taken over a function that was once a primary concern to Freemasons – care for widows and orphans, particularly of fellow Masons. In an era in which governments did not assume this role, Masonry stepped into the breech and served well. But the needs and challenges of today are different. Government by and large takes care of widows and orphans. What has really changed is that the world is being destroyed by industrial activity, and all governments are powerless or unwilling to stop this.
The current world situation has changed very much over the past two centuries, from the time when Masonry was a potent, thriving force. Other agencies have now largely assumed the traditional humanitarian role that once was a key Masonic domain. There is now a different mission that Masonry can accomplish – one that is of planetary significance, and that Masonry is uniquely suited to address. What I am proposing is that some portion of Masonic effort be directed toward that mission.

Restoration of the Masonic Temple in Monrovia, Liberia (16 August 2009.)
Some time ago I did some consulting in Monrovia, Liberia, and I stayed at the Krystal Oceanview Hotel. Around the corner from the hotel is a grand classical building, the Masonic Temple. The Temple was gutted by fire in the recent revolution, and the marble façade was stripped from it. Some basic repairs have been made to preserve it, but it is still in bad shape.
