Here is an announcement from the Grand Lodge of Virginia: ( some portions deleted)
After several months in the making, an online version of the Grand Lodge of Virginia Masonic Leadership & Correspondence Courses are now available. Visit this website for details...
http://courses.vamasons.org
The Committee on Masonic Education proudly presents this program on self-improvement to all Master Masons within the Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia. This program has been developed to assist the individual Mason, as well as the Blue Lodge. The Committee is responsible for fostering Masonic education. A well-rounded Mason will use this program as but one method of improving himself. Taken together with the Grand Lodge Leadership Conferences, Training for the Subordinate Lodge Officer, educational offerings at the Reid James Simmons Academy of Masonic Leadership, "Area Mini-Conferences," the educational opportunities afforded by your District Educational Officer and your Lodge Educational Officer, and other programs and publications offered by the Committee, it is hoped that we may enlighten good Brethren, so they may excel as tomorrow's leaders of this gentle Craft.
===================
I am delighted to see this development. Now, Masons can take courses in Masonic topics and leadership, at their own convenience and schedule. We can "improve ourselves in Masonry", on the internet! I hope that their program succeeds, and that other states can pick up on the idea.
Fantastic!
