The Question

“With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III the public has been exposed to the historical rights, responsibilities and traditions of the monarchy. The reaction of the public has caught many people by surprise.

Respect for this traditional institution has transcended mere interest.

As Freemasons, can we expect our organization to benefit from this phenomenon?”
