About this episode

This episode discusses the reasons why some men do not return to Masonry after joining and how the Craft can better welcome new members.

Brethren, this Short Talk Bulletin Podcast episode was written by MW Bro Walter MacDougal, PGM – ME, and is brought to us by MW Bro Jeffry Simonton, GM – ME. The question arises: why do men come to our west gate, become Masons, and never return? How does the Craft welcome and include new members so this doesn’t happen? Watchman, what of the night? Enjoy, and do share this and all of these Podcast episodes with your brothers and your Lodge.
