Question: since you became a mason, has your attendance at weekly worship service (church, synagogue, temple) varied?
If so, has it increased or become less frequent?
If less frequent or not at all, why do you think this happened?
If more, why do you think that happened?
Curious to hear from brothers around the country/world on your experience.
I will add my answer: No change, once per week on Sunday morning.
UPDATE: Brothers, please note that I am not inferring any right, wrong or best answer. My question stems from my personal research on the relationship between religion and Freemasonry. I personally value my private worship above any public worship experience. In fact I have worked as a clergyman for over 14 years and have actually a slight disdain for organized religion but also have not thrown out the baby with the bathwater. My research is actually to hopefully show that Freemasonry for some men has become a steadying force in his faith. I added this update and maybe should have explained more on the original post. Here my out, I ask with no judgments attached. Just looking for personal experiences either direction. Thank you for your honesty.
