Mission Statement

The purpose of the Luminary Society is to promote discussion and critical thinking on a variety of topics touching on all aspects of Freemasonry.

The Luminary Society will meet via Zoom each month on the Monday before the last Monday of each month, and tackle topics ranging the full spectrum of society. The point of these meetings to foster a space where we can all grow from discussion and debate.

Our goal is not to leave each meeting having come to a consensus or even a full understanding of the topics, but get new viewpoints on ideas to gain a new level of understanding as we discuss and mold the topics.

The Luminary Society will focus on bringing topics to bear which might be uncomfortable or difficult to speak about, but are topics which need to spoken and touched upon.

Each meeting will be limited to a total of 12 participants, a forum moderator and 12 other individuals who wish to speak or learn more about the chosen topic. The moderators job will be to present the topic and to keep the conversation flowing, and to enforce the rules of the forums and remove any member if necessary. Please note: Registration is first come-first served. After the first 12 register, the form below will not necessarily be cancelled off the page, but you will not be able to register for the month.
