My intent for this thread is for a thought provoking Q & A regarding both actual duties and each brothers personal thoughts. I'll preface this by saying that I've only been raised a year and do not have many years of knowledge to pull from.
District Instructors what purpose do they serve?
Last year prior to our WM taking his place in the East I was able to meet and watch our DI instruct/grade our WM, SW, and JW. This was the first time I had the pleasure of seeing anything along the lines of a graded procedure(yes, I know it was not a graded procedure but he was listening and discussed different things). Other then that one time I have not seen our DI. Is this common? I would think that DI's would be staying in contact with all lodges and seeing how they can assist them. I know we have talked on here about degrees and lodges doing the degrees but shouldn't the DI be actively helping in these areas? I'm not complaining about a DI or DIs' this is just my observation from a business mindset.
District Deputy Grand Master
Besides keeping the GM updated one what is occurring in the district, and dealing with problems/issues what are their purpose? I guess I view this as a Regional Manager to help the lodges grow and prosper, while dealing with issues that might arise. What were their original intended purpose?
I guess I hear alot of things on here about the different lodges and issues that have occurred or needs that are perceived and wonder if maybe strengthening the roles of these offices would increase the number of "Masons", not in name only but actual masons.
