NM Freemason Skills & Drills

Theme

Business

How a Lodge governs itself. Membership, officers, jurisprudence.

What Pound's Masonic Jurisprudence and the published Grand Lodge codes describe: how a Lodge comes to exist (charter, dispensation, by-laws), how it admits men (petition, investigation, ballot), how it handles trouble (trials and discipline), and how it lives inside a larger structure of Grand Lodges with their published doctrine of exclusive territorial jurisdiction. Plain practical Masonry.
