Join us this week for a wonderful expression of what Freemasonry is doing for the world, and who we need to keep the Great Work moving forward. Then we've got a brand new Masonic Minute with Brother Steve Harrison--What changes a person who goes out into the cosmos and looks back on our planet? On our Moon? What did Freemason astronauts think when they came back, and what changed about the way they saw the world? It's called The Overview Effect: Ill. Brother Steve gives us an awesome segment all about this. We'll wrap it all up with our continued reading of Kris Wilson-Slack's piece on Theurgy and Freemasonry! All this and more. Stay Tuned.
