Let us remember Brothers that it is "partisan" politics and "sectarian" religion, not politics and religion. Politics is not what people seem to think it is. It is not about stumping for a particular candidate. It is about the methods and manner of coming to consensus. That requires discussion and education.

Regarding the passions and the idea that politics and religion cannot be discussed without causing disharmony. That is just wrong headed. Anything can be discussed by adults acting as adults. Sure there are some that just can't handle the fact that others don't agree with their pet ideas. Perhaps those folks are in the wrong place. I am sure the local party can use another talking head. The Masonic lodge is a place of learning. To learn one must challenge and be challenged.
