Brother Don Albrecht, 32° KCCH often conducts interesting discussions on Masonic education after the Lincoln Valley Scottish Rite meetings. Rather than a lecture, Don has hosted education - often surrounding the lessons and philosophy of a Scottish Rite degree - not as a lecture but as a discussion among the members.
Don believes that the Scottish Rite, as the “University of Freemasonry,” education is one of the valuable benefits of Freemasonry, and wanted to extend this statewide. He enlisted Dan Deffenbaugh, 32° KCCH, Associate Dean of Instruction at Central Community College. Dan often presents Masonic history in the Hastings Valley, bringing his background as a professor of religion and philosophy into conversations about Masonic degrees.
And the monthly Masonic education series was born, with a new presentation on the last Monday of each month, open to all Masons, via Zoom. The first educational program was hosted on Monday, August 31, with M.W. Tom Hauder, Past Grand Master of Masons in Nebraska in 2013, offering the first of two lectures on the history of the Catholic Church and Freemasonry. The second part of the lecture will be in September. Future lectures will include Masons during the Revolutionary War, a history of Nebraska as told through historic maps, and other interesting topics.
