As someone who just finished learning letter-perfect my first "long form" lecture (the EA long form, that is, including the monitorial sections), I was told by a couple members of the lodge that it would be best to not do the long form lecture at all because of the chance of boring/losing the attention of the members and the candidate. I agreed that the members might get bored, but it is equally possible that the candidate wants more out of his degree than expediency. -_^
I did actually ponder on this thought, however. ARE the long form lectures too much for the candidate to bear hearing after his floor work portion of his degree? I personally believe that the long form/monitorial parts contain excellent masonic information that is quite often glazed over or never heard again by a lot of these guys and is a disservice to not offer it especially given the trend that newer members seem to want MORE masonry from their masonry, but that is just my two cents.
Thoughts?
