This takes a huge amount of time during our stated meetings, so much so that it feels as though it's what we're spending the majority the meeting listening to them.
How is this handled in your lodge? Is every detail of the minutes and local/GL correspondence read? Is it just discussed briefly? Does it simply get posted on the bulletin board?
I ask because I can see how becoming a mason just to go to stated meetings and listen to all of this stuff can be disappointing, but there's concern in my lodge that people might get in trouble if everything isn't covered. This sort of throws a wrench in my plans if I become Worshipful Master as I wanted to simply have the information posted on the bulletin board so we could spend more time doing education or possibly degrees during our stated meetings and now it looks as though that may not happen.
I know I bug you guys for advise pretty often but I highly value the input I get here.
Thanks
