The new year kicks off with a new concept in Masonic education. The Worldwide Exemplification of Freemasonry 2011 Lecture Series is a free presentation by the Grand Lodge of Indiana F&AM, beginning January 1, 2011 and running through December 31, 2011. The forum’s “Intenders” will present the story of the fraternity since 287 AD to present. At the conclusion of each presentation you will have an opportunity to join with the speakers in a live conversation on Facebook at the "Worldwide Exemplification of Freemasonry 2011 Lecture Series" page.
The presentations may be heard live on Saturdays, in English, at 2000 Hours, 8 PM EST (GMT-5) on the dates posted. The presentations will be available on the website for only a two week period after the original broadcast. The Facebook chat room will be open for one hour immediately following each presentation.

This program has been the longtime dream of Indiana's W:.B:. Al McClelland, and it is truly a labor of love on his part. Tune in Saturdays in the coming year!
What a great program! Looking at some of those lectures makes me very jealous. I wish the GLoT had a program similar to this in full swing.
ReplyDeleteIs there any word on whether this will be available as a podcast after the live stream?
ReplyDelete287 AD? Did you mean 1287? 'Cos that would be pretty interesting if they've turned up any documented evidence.
ReplyDeleteThat's what the website says...
ReplyDelete@Zack The presentations will be available on the website for only a two week period. The Facebook chat room will be open for one hour immediately following the initial presentation.
ReplyDeleteThey should create a podcast of this historic program. That's what I would do.

Not every presenter may necessarily want their speeches recorded to be endlessly circulated for posterity across the Intertubz. I cannot speak for Al and his arrangements with everyone, but perhaps limiting the circulation of the segments to just a two week period was the way to solve that issue.
ReplyDeleteWhere can the first presentation (given on 1-1-11) be found?
