S1 E8: The one with the President of the Board

In an organisation known for assigning such lofty titles as Grand Officers to its members, a modern title like ‘President of the Board’ might easily be overlooked at first, but it is the cornerstone upon which the United Grand Lodge of England across the English constitution rests. In this episode, our hosts sit down with Geoffrey Dearing, the President of the Board of General Purposes. They explore the various ways the Board is integral to Freemasonry, not just in England and Wales, but to the wider world, and discuss a very important topic: What does running the world’s oldest Fraternity entail?
