8"Why don't these new guys come back?" This is the question I often hear; and it is this same question that pushed me to write this book. However, there is a second question that has developed alongside it: When so many Lodges are losing members, how is another significant number of Lodges not only are retaining their active membership, but are flourishing? These questions address both universal and local Masonry, and they are intimately intertwined. This book therefore addresses these questions in a holistic way.
