Masonic Membership Decline

Masonic Membership Decline

Author: Juan Sepulveda October 18, 2022 Duration: 54:25

What's behind this Masonic Membership Decline and what can we do about it? Fraternal orders and non-profit organizations have seen a steady decline in membership and participation over the last few decades. If you are familiar with Freemasonry, you will agree that what it teaches men is desperately needed in today's society. 

In this episode of The Winding Stairs, Bro. Tom McGuire (Founder of FossilBluff) and I sit down for a conversation where we explore the many reasons why our organization continues to face declining numbers and we provide some practical solutions to help us reverse this trend.
