‘Fraternal Review’s new editor’

    

Fraternal Review
, the almost monthly periodical from Southern California Research Lodge, has a new interim editor in chief. Angel Millar, noted author and speaker (and Senior Warden of The ALR) on the vanguard of Masonic thought today, is taking the desk for a time yet to be specified.

Fraternal Review dares to be different,” says Millar in a video announcement I can’t figure how to link to. “Unlike publications of other research lodges, Fraternal Review really presents readers with bite-sized articles on a range of issues, many of which have never been covered elsewhere—and not only Masonic education and the history of the fraternity, but also contemporary culture and where Masonry fits in.”

SCRL meets in South Pasadena on the third Mondays of January, April, July, and October. Membership by affiliation is possible only for California Master Masons, unfortunately for the rest of us. But we are free to subscribe to this magazine, which I haven’t until now, upon Angel’s preferment.

Subscriptions are available for the print and/or digital versions; lodges may subscribe too, and receive three copies. What this lodge has going on is dazzling. In addition to its Stated Meetings, it regularly hosts other gatherings for guided meditations, study groups, lectures, and other educational offerings. There is a podcast, accessible via Spotify, Apple, Google, and other hosts; there is a blog too.

I have no desire to live in the Golden State, but I’ll admit this turns my head. Congratulations to all.
