What is the Louisiana Lodge of Research ?

The Louisiana Lodge of Research is a statewide Masonic Lodge whose membership is open to all Master Masons who are in good standing in a Louisiana Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons or a member in good standing in a Lodge recognized by the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana F. & A. M.

The Louisiana Lodge of Research (LLR) was formed for the purpose of providing Masonic Research and to promote a better understanding of all facets of Freemasonry.

It meets at least twice a year. The scheduled dates are on the Sunday prior to the opening of the Grand Lodge and on the third or fourth Saturday in August. The first meeting is where Grand Lodge meets. The August meeting is held at a place mutually acceptable to the members and may be anywhere in the state.

All Master Masons are welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings of the LLR. Ladies and other guests may attend the open portion of the meetings at which papers on various Masonic topics are presented.

Our LLR is relatively new but we expect to publish papers presented at our meetings and grow into an active lodge, contributing to the advancement of Freemasonry in our state. We welcome your interest and support.

The first major project of our research lodge was the publishing of the book "LET THERE BE LIGHT" by Dr. H. Glenn Jordan. The initial printing was three thousand copies and over two thousand of those have been sold.

DO YOU NEED TO BE A SCHOLAR?

NO! Any active mason will find the Research Lodge meeting, papers and publications of interest. While many of our leading Masonic Scholars belong to the Research Lodge, most of the members are simply active masons who have a desire to learn more about our fraternity.

WHAT ARE THE COSTS?

The annual dues are $15.00. There are no joining fees. The dues cover mailing expenses and the proceedings of the Lodge.

MAY A LODGE BE A MEMBER OF THE RESEARCH LODGE?

Yes, a lodge or Masonic organization recognized by the Grand Lodge may become a corresponding member. A corresponding member has no vote, but is entitled to receive all published proceedings and mailouts. Fees are the same as for regular members. Louisiana lodges are invited to join so that their members can be notified of LLR activities through Lodge correspondence.
