‘Sankey Lecture next month’

    

Ontario Freemasonry has the kind of relationship with Brock University that I wish grand lodges in the United States would cultivate with academia. (Like this.) Since 2009, the brethren there have the Sankey Centre for Masonic Studies at Brock.

The center drives research into Freemasonry’s importance in Canadian society and in the world. Specifically, its purposes include hosting Masonic scholars for lectures. Charles Sankey was a leader in Masonic education during the last century. His personal Masonic book collection and papers are found in one of Brock’s libraries. The inaugural Charles A. Sankey Lecture was hosted in 2010 (check out 2012’s), and the next one will take place April 10.
