    I really enjoy this podcast, particularly as it relates more to the west coast Masonry that I know, but it’s applicable in all jurisdictions. Great job!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MW Gordon Greasley Grand Master Manitoba Part 2 TWT S8 E36
Q: What are the biggest hurdles facing Manitoba and its lodges right now, and what tools are you giving them to solve those problems?
Greasley sees differences in how lodges engage prospective and younger members. Successful lodges build relationships before accepting petitions, provide mentoring and education, and organize varied social and family events. Shortening business meetings can also make lodge nights more engaging.
MW Gordon Greasley Grand Master Manitoba Part 2 TWT S8 E36
Q: What was important to you as you worked your way toward Grand Master, and what did you want to make a major part of your year in office?
Greasley chose “acta non verba,” deeds not words, as his theme. He wants lodges to undertake new community service, Grand Lodge to address fiscal and building sustainability, and Manitoba Freemasonry to act on its values.
RW Wes Regan Mt. Hermon No. 7 BCY Part 1 TWT S8 E37
Q: What were some of the early motions that happened to turn the lodge around or reinvigorate it?
Regan and other members visited lodges in Seattle and Oakland, learned from discussions about traditional observance and lodge culture, and brought home ideas suited to their own lodge. They shaped a relaxed culture that treats ritual seriously while remaining welcoming.
RW Wes Regan Mt. Hermon No. 7 BCY Part 1 TWT S8 E37
Q: Could you talk to us about who you are before Freemasonry, give us an idea of your background, and how did you become a Mason?
Regan moved to Vancouver to pursue acting and music, toured professionally, then studied and worked in urban planning, economic development and public health. His interest in history and Masonic historical figures led him to visit the Grand Lodge building, ask questions, and eventually apply to a lodge.
MW Gordon Greasley Grand Master Manitoba Part 1 TWT S8 E35
Q: What led to you pursuing the Deputy Grand Master role and eventually Grand Master?
A combination of long service on the Board, prior leadership experience, and a need for governance continuity during leadership transitions; a sudden vacancy and development needs created a path to deputy and then mastership.
