On Being a Masonic Chaplain
“
On Being a Masonic Chaplain
” is a step-by-step guide to developing the position of chaplain into an integral part of any Masonic or Appendant Body. It is an exploration of the position as it exists in many Lodges, Chapters, Councils, Commanderies, Consistories, College, Valleys, Shrines, Forests, and other bodies. The book reminds readers that masonry is not a religion, but that all members are religious, and that the Lodge is never a substitute for the church or other house of worship.
From the beginning of the position descriptions to the mechanics of how to speak and read better, the book helps develop the ability to pray, lead, and listen to the brethren and serve the various communities. Special emphasis is placed on the less-considered elements of being a chaplain to an organization, understanding that Masonic chaplains are probably not professional chaplains or pastors, but need to serve the spiritual needs of their members.
Dr. Rob Elsner, 33°, KYGCH, FMR creates a lively discussion of the topics he has lived and taught for decades. Whether used as personal study and development or as a textbook for masonic chaplain training programs, this book is focused on serving God and the Craft.
