Kirkwall Scroll Education Night

Bro. Sammy introducing the evening's presentation

On Tuesday, June 19 the West Gate Education Committee, R.W. Bro. Geoff Bailey, W. Bro. George Warner and Bro. Neil Sammy, organized a video presentation by Dr. Robert Lomas about the Kirkwall Scroll for members of West Gate and the District. It was well attended by many members from West Gate and brethren throughout the District. The members did a great job providing refreshments. Lots of active discussion and fellowship completed the evening.

I encourage the committee to continue their well received initiatives. The use of technology has lots of potential to expand the field of masonic education. We learn in a variety of mediums on a continuum between informal and formal. The "Masonic Minute" to dedicated nights of education provide a well rounded program to enrich and renew our masonic experience.

It was very informative to hear about the "Kirkwall Scroll", it's potential origins, it's Masonic meaning, and how it was utilized for the craft in the 13th century Masonic Lodge. The tracing board on the centre was also very enlightening as it explained how our rituals have developed and the connection between entering Masonry as an EA, developing control of our emotional, and spiritual self to finally achieve perfection, balance and harmony as a MM. Great work Brethren.....I look forward with enthusiasm to the next educational lecture session at West Gate.
"Kudos'" go out the Masonic Education Committee at West Gate and their tremendous enthusiastic efforts at presenting further knowledge and light to the Brethren. We all thirst for further knowledge in the science, and this is a most needed and welcomed platform to advance and perpetuate this information.
Thank you.
