My question is, with Masonry's numbers dropping exponentially in every single state nearly in the U.S. and Canada, is the day and age of Rotary Club(meaning more external community-based organization) style Masonry ending? If so, where is Masonry headed and why the huge loss in interest over the last several decades? Should lodges lean more esoteric or hold course? More individual-centered and focus on the Craft? Possibly invitation only where members 'decide ahead of time' on a man and can then control the quality and flow of new members more? Or will Freemasonry be completely gone in the next 50-100 years? What can be done to reverse these numbers? Does Masonry need a reformation and possibly refocus it's purpose in lodge at risk of losing further members to change? (You gotta break some eggs to make an omelet tho) Any thoughts?
Some stats from 2015, not sure how accurate they are but probably pretty close.
