What has transpired in North American Freemasonry since the 1960s has been influenced by not only factors external to the institution, but less obvious internal ones as well. To better understand where the Craft has been and where it will likely be in the future requires a balanced examination in context, a context wherein Freemasonry is viewed as a whole, not in fragments. For the Good of the Order examines the long-standing attitude regarding membership decline and lack of engagement by men who enter the West Gate with initial enthusiasm, but soon find their zeal for active involvement in the Fraternity waning. This panoramic view and examination illustrates that much of what the institution faces today and in the future regarding membership decline, is much more likely to be effectively addressed by what is often seen emerging in Masonry today around the country: a return to past traditions and practicing traditional Freemasonry in our lodges.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For two centuries an aura of mystery has surrounded the long-lost legend of pioneer Kentucky's "Burnt Station" in eastern Fayette County. Pioneer texts preserved only enough information to paint a tantalizing portrait of an early frontier settlement founded on the banks of David Jones Creek, isolated amongst the timber and cane breaks of central Kentucky. Destined to become a primary crossroads between the pioneer settlements at Bryan's Station, Fort Lexington and Strode's Station, the settlement was from the beginning besieged by misfortune, famine and dangerous isolation. When hostile Indians burned the palisades protecting the fort in 1781, the fate of a community that had been founded with such potential was finally sealed. Fading into obscurity, Burnt Station lived on in the memories of those who had endured a harsh life there, but the passage of time dulled their recollections, leading historians and mapmakers astray for more than 170 years. Those lingering questions of why Burnt Station stood where it did and why its precise location was destined to be lost as an obscure oddity in American pioneer history have finally been answered. The Lost Station unravels the fascinating story of Burnt Station and the intrepid pioneer families focused on taming the wilds of central Kentucky and proves how easily important history can be lost when left to anecdotal interpretations.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. While the role the spread of Freemasonry played in the early years of the history of the United States is well documented elsewhere, the backstory about who, how and in some cases, why this proliferation occurred as it did is lacking, especially in Kentucky. Towards that end, this publication is offered with intent to not only provide context, but connect the historical events that occurred behind the scenes that were untold, or perhaps even unknown by those who wrote the earlier histories of the arrival of Freemasonry in Kentucky. It is better understandable today that the men who were Freemasons prior to 1788 would seek a lodge somewhere in the area that was closer than the journey to Virginia where the closest lodge was located. However, it is also clearer today that those turbulent times involved men who were already Freemasons in leadership positions in Kentucky. Clear too is the fact that one immigrant with peculiar ties to George Washington also had a knack of finding himself involved in the middle of several historical events that led not only to statehood, but becoming one of the founding members of the first Masonic lodge in Kentucky. Evidence points the likelihood that Freemasonry was brought to Kentucky to further harvest and engender trust among early leaders rather than the long-standing belief that has stood since research in the 1930s. This likelihood also extends to the need George Washington, and his long-trusted friend and Secretary of War, Henry Knox among others seemed to have on relying heavily on the fidelity of brethren during the early years in which the United States was in its infant stage and expanding.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Taking Issue is a collection of refreshingly candid commentaries examining many issues relative to the state and practices of Freemasonry in North America today. The author presents clear and convincing arguments genuinely advancing the discussion of these issues in a context, characterizing the voice of those Masons who seek the fraternity to be more than ordinary. These timely commentaries and observations cut to the heart of various topics validating with clarity how Freemasonry is intended for practice as a complete system. Collectively, these essays affirm in no uncertain terms, that Freemasonry is meant to be an educational institution with the purpose of improving the minds and effectiveness of its members through its practices. This compendium of straightforward and introspective writings not only consider the causes for today's trends, but offers solid evidence in preparation to act on remedies. Commentaries, particularly those offering critical thinking and rhetorical reasoning can often validate what we have thought or are thinking. Sometimes they promote us to face our views and weigh them against those presented. In essence: they cause us to think beyond what we sometimes just accept. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The premise of Changing How Police View Policing is that much of the traditional manner in which police have been pre-screened, selected and hired, then trained and assigned to their work is broken, outdated and largely ineffective for police work in today's society. Furthermore, how police view themselves and their work can be successfully molded and shaped through selection practices and training irrespective of the long-standing culture within policing and to constructively strike at the root of dysfunctional selection and academy systems. A new paradigm, one that systemically incorporates and consistently addresses all areas of selecting and preparing our police, only occurs over a period of time. Shifting the mind-set of the policing institution is a theme that threads most past and contemporary research and experience together for nearly a century. At times in our history this has been painfully clear. The struggle, challenges and difficulty in how this may effectively be accomplished has always been the question and collective problem. The systemic model designed and used in Kentucky began to effectively address this question and problem. It continues to fine tune as it further advances the process of changing how police view themselves and their work under the principles of the Broken Mirror Theory. Kentucky is indeed unique when it comes to how police are trained to think about policing. No other state demands the level or quality of training methods Kentucky has adopted. No other state has the distinctive legislatively approved funding mechanism to support the effort. No other public safety training program carries the distinction of pioneering by becoming the first nationally-accredited, state-wide police training program and now carries a second accreditation from a separate national accrediting body. No other state has the combined experience and education of faculty to deliver this style of training. In strict comparison, no other state requires as many basic training hours to become certified police officers and few police training centers around the nation have the state-of-the-art facilities and appropriate environment in which to conduct the serious business of police training. This book chronicles the history of the evolution of this work, provides insight into the details of how it came about, and why. It also offers many reasons why this approach to constructively evolving how police view themselves and their work cannot be accomplished through quick fixes or political tinkering.
