Lamenting the problem passes for activity and doesn't require real change.

Looking at the Masonic institution we've made a great many mistakes with how we have attempted to gain and maintain members. We keep saying, "What we did was wrong. What're we're doing doesn't seem much better." But we keep just re-hashing the fact that we have a problem...not what we're going to do to allieviate the problem or remove the problem. Focus on the correction; not the error. I agree. Looking at the Masonic institution we’ve made a great many mistakes with how we have attempted to gain and maintain members.
