The Missing Working Tools and the Inspiration for Masonic Education

“The Missing Working Tools” by Brother Paul Miller reflects on Masonic education inspired by a Short Talk Bulletin discussing the working tools of a Master Mason. It notes the disparity in the number and nature of tools between American and English Masonic rituals, citing differences like the Chisel, Skirret, and Pencil. The author encourages Masons to explore diverse Masonic topics beyond their immediate experiences, urging them to research historical events, rituals, and symbolism. Emphasizing a deeper understanding of Freemasonry, cultivating curiosity, and sharing insights, the article advocates a broader perspective for Masonic education to enhance personal growth and leadership roles within the Lodge.
