The Grand Provost, an appointed, non-progressive officer
in the Grand Lodge, is the head of Masonic education activities. He is
chairman of the Masonic Education Committee. As of July 2000, he is
Thomas Blizzard. Each member of the Masonic Education Committee (there
are about a dozen) is called an Area Provost, in charge of Masonic
education activities in a different part of Virginia. There are also
about 50 Districts, and each has a District Education Officer (DEO), and
each lodge is supposed to have a Lodge Education Officers (LEO). All
these officers are involved in Masonic education.
Starting in 1999, the Grand Master instituted an
"alternative" system of candidate progress. Instead of
memorizing a long catechism, lodges could advance candidates if they
learned a detailed Masonic education program, based on questions and
answers in 3 booklets (EA, FC, MM), which are not to be given to
candidates but instead discussed in detail with them, so they learn all
about Freemasonry in a progressive way. |
