  • Belief in Deity - Bro. Jonathan Kopel

    Belief in Deity - Bro. Jonathan Kopel
    Jul 1 2024
    Today, we're delving into the heart of Freemasonry and exploring one of its most fundamental tenets: the requirement for members to profess a belief in a Supreme Being. This is a topic that often sparks curiosity and debate, both within and outside the fraternity. Bro. Jonathan Kopel, a neurologist in Washington, DC, joins us as we unpack the reasons behind this requirement, its historical context, and how it shapes the Masonic experience.
