It seems that we push people too fast to the MM, but it has always been done that way, so who am I to criticize?
A lot of new members at my lodge don't see Masonry in the same "light" as do our senior members, I think we ( my lodge) are not prepared to address the interest of our younger members, patience is fine but we should throw them a bone or two on occasion, to keep them interested.
