Sharing the Light

We provide a number of educational resources to members and guests. Foremost among these is the extensive collection of papers, links and reports that have been gathered by the Grand Lodge Education Officer (LEO) over the years. We've gathered that material in the Grand Lodge LEO Forum.

Many of Minnesota's lodges have a library of books and materials available free for members' use. The Grand Lodge office in Bloomington offers a number of these books for sale, often at lower prices than at your local or online bookstore. Our Grand Secretary, Douglas Campbell can provide you a list and prices. His phone number is 952-948-6700.

Our current Grand Lodge LEO, Ed Halpaus, coordinates a Masonic Book Club, which mails to its members a new and interesting title every month or two. Contact Ed if you'd like to join or would like more information.

The Grand Lodge sponsors Educational Lodge 1002, a group of Masons who share an interest in reading, discussions and further study. Any Mason can join, and participate in online discussions and the occasional meeting. You may contact the Brothers of this special Lodge through this web site. Go to the Educational Lodge 1002 page.

Finally, within the Masonic Family, the Scottish Rite and York Rite provides a wealth of educational opportunities for those seeking Further Light in Masonry. The Scottish Rite and York Rite are two of our many peer or subordinate groups that share the Masonic values of Political Freedom, Religious Tolerance and Personal Integrity. You may learn more about both these groups at their pages on the Grand Lodge web site.
