DW,
It seems to me that the major difference between
Modern and
Antient is the ability to adapt to change. Please correct me if I am mistaken,
Modern consists of mainly educated and men of leadership and
Antient consists of working men. Isn't there a happy medium between the two when attending lodge meetings?
If I was to make a choice between the two, I would choose the
Modern because I do consider myself educated (through school and self enlightenment) and I am in a postion of leadership but, I have also been a working man. I think because of this, I would be of more use to my future brothers.

After futher research and continued discussions with a friend and colleage of mine, I have decided to reverse my previous decision and choose the
Antient form of Masonry. The reason for this is I am more interested in the original beliefs and standards that our country's fore-fathers put in place. This foundation was placed to maintain the practice of brotherhood and provide future leaders with the knowledge to lead a nation in constant turmoil. Even though I also believe that with change comes additional knowledge, I also firmly believe that the original foundation must be maintained or the structure will collapse upon itself. Thank you DW for your support and I look forward to continuing my pursuit of enlightenment.
Sincerely,
RJAllen
