Reflections:

The Newsletter

of the Committee on Masonic Education

of the

The Grand Lodge of Canada in the Province of Ontario

For those of you who have not heard of Reflections, let me tell you about our little publication. We are published by the Committee on Masonic Education. We publish short educational articles which are of interest to the Masons of Ontario. We try to get as many articles actually written by Ontario Masons as we can. These can be speeches given by DDGMs, website text, excerpts from lodge histories, or even purpose-written articles. The main thing is that they be interesting.

If you have something you think would be good for Reflections, please send it in to the editor. If your DDGM gives a particularly good speech, ask him to send it in. If your lodge is having a significant milestone and you have a short history for the programme, that could be good too.

Do not worry if your piece seems too short. We especially need more short articles suitable to be read in busy lodges with many degrees. There should be Masonic Education at every meeting, and “not having time” is no excuse. Two minute educational pieces can be among the best. So please do them, and then share them.
