“This is the first “Winding Stairs” podcast I have listened to. For my first experience, I chose the episode where Bro. Chris Hodapp was interviewed about the One-Day Class.
I chose this episode for two reasons: first, I almost signed up for a one-day class by mistake. I thought I was signing up for an introduction to Freemasonry - granted, it seemed a little long for an intro, but what did I know? - but a friend discouraged me from going that route, when he explained to me what it was really about. I agreed right away that I would be better off going the traditional route.
Secondly, this episode features Brother Hodapp whose book _Freemasons for Dummies_ was the first one I read about Masonry. I further had a brief but funny (for me anyway) encounter with the brother, during which he gifted me with his latest book _Heritage Endures_. I do not know many famous Masons, but I knew (of) Chris, and I had already come to appreciate his extensive knowledge of Masonry and his wry sense of humor.
I was not disappointed. Not only did I get very quickly a larger perspective on the why and the how of the [in]famous one-day class; I was also thrown into the heart of the challenge that I will be facing in less than a month, when I undergo my Master Mason Degree (2/27/2018), God willing.
What I got out of this podcast is that if it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a Mason - any Mason - to shape the Lodge, and that if I want something to happen in my Lodge, I’d better be prepared to contribute to its development rather than wait for the officers to make it happen for me. To paraphrase JFK's famous quote from his 1961 inaugural address: “Ask not what your Lodge can do for you, ask what you can do for your Lodge.”
If all these podcasts are as enlightening as this one has been, I’m going to be a fan. Not only did I get the historical context for the one-day class, I also received the best advice on what to do next and how to contribute to the welfare of my Lodge as well as my own, through the brotherhood. Congratulations to both the interviewer and the interviewee for a job well done. I can’t wait to meet you on the other side of my Master Mason Degree.”Read full review »
