Worthy And Well Qualified - A Masonic Podcast
Fraternalism comes in many forms. Masons often love to enjoy the company of their brothers over a good cigar. Some, so much so, that they even made a club for it.

info_outlineWhat if they're wrong?
Many Masons think of mergers as the death of a lodge - but what if they're wrong?
Death... or a new beginning?
There are many ways for a Lodge to come to its end. The important thing to consider here is that not every end is final. Sometimes the end of one thing is simply the beginning of another. Bros Darrell and Bryan are firmly of the belief that a merger between two lodges can result in something that is greater than the sum of its parts.
This, friends and brethren all, is the story of The Happy Merger of Ezekiel Bates and St. James. Wherein two great friends come together to become something more than the sum of their parts.
What's in this episode:
- What is a merger, and how does it work?
- Discussion from before and after the merger of Ezekiel Bates Lodge and St. James Lodge.
- Darrell and Bryan get a little off-topic and catch up on things that have gone on lately.
