Progressive change in some areas is great. With this I fervently agree. However, Freemasonry is the oldest FRATERNAL order in existence. "Fraternal" being the key word. Evolving to remain relevant is good. Changing the fundamentals of our organization is losing our identity. Call me a purist but I believe in keeping our craft ANCIENT,FREE, And ACCEPTED, not modern, open, and accepting. We are free to have a fraternal brotherhood. Why would we give up any freedom we have? "Fraternally"
I have edited this post because my use of the words Ancient, And Modern may be misunderstood. I meant no coronation between them and the terms Ancient, and Modern in regards to the first lodges in Europe. I simply meant that our fundamentals should not change due to pressure from today's society.
