Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons
of the
State of Michigan
Suspending a Brothers membership in Freemasonry should never be taken lightly. It should, in fact, be a last resort, and
should be rather difficult to do.
Considering the rigor and amount of time it takes to initiate, pass and raise a candidate and the number of documents and
procedures that must be completed with the petition, the interviews and the ballot, it seems that there should be a com-
mensurate level of difficulty in suspending a member for non-payment of dues.
There is no better way to practice our tenets of Brotherly Love and Relief, than to have a personal contact. It might not
only cause our brother to pay his dues but he might be impressed by our actions and concerns for him that he might re-
turn to the lodge as an active member.
We may find that he is having one of the difficulties stated below, not only could the lodge remit his dues, but extend to
him some kind of brotherly assistance. How rewarding it would be to know we were part of helping a brother in need!
No member should ever be suspended because he cannot pay his dues.
Please send the completed form to the Grand Lodge office by October 15th. The Grand Lodge office will make the entry
into MORI. The Lodge secretary no longer has the ability to enter Suspensions for Non Payment of Dues.
