Blue Lodge (Craft)
A Craft lodge under a Grand Lodge — Worshipful Master, Wardens, and the officer line.
DIAL Community Edition · Lodge
For lodges where too much rests on too few.
A lodge rarely declines because members stop caring. It strains when the officer line, a Past Master, or a few dependable hands carry work the whole body should share. DIAL Community helps a lodge see where that weight is concentrating — so leadership can distribute it before good men wear out.
It reads the structure, not the men. DIAL Community is a structured self-assessment, not a validated or diagnostic instrument. It does not judge any member’s standing or character. It reads the load the lodge’s structure is carrying and where pressure concentrates, and it begins a shared conversation — commissioned by the body’s own leadership, never a survey run against the officers.
What it looks at, in fraternal terms
The reading follows the four leadership lanes:
- Truth. Can reality travel safely through the lodge?
- Power. Does authority distribute weight, or concentrate it?
- People. Can the members remain healthy while serving?
- Standards. Can the work continue consistently, without heroics?
Built for the body you serve
Seven fraternal contexts, one reading.
Choose your body at the start, and the questions speak in the officers and structure you actually use.
Scottish Rite
A Valley of the Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite — Venerable Master and line officers.
York Rite
Royal Arch Chapter, Cryptic Council, or Commandery — High Priest, Illustrious Master, or Eminent Commander.
Shrine
A Shrine temple or center — Potentate and Divan.
Order of the Eastern Star
An Eastern Star chapter under a Grand Chapter — Worthy Matron and Worthy Patron.
Prince Hall & affiliated
A Prince Hall Affiliated lodge, with its Craft offices.
Any appendant, concordant, or affiliated body can use the general fraternal reading. Wording for the Scottish Rite, York Rite, and Prince Hall bodies is shown in shared fraternal language while body-specific phrasing is in review — and fraternal-literate reviewers are welcome to help refine it.
The posture
Commissioned by the lodge, for the lodge.
DIAL Community is not a commercial product pushed onto a body, and it is not a way to grade the men who serve. It is a tool a lodge’s own leadership can take up to see, honestly, where the load has piled onto too few shoulders — and to decide together how to redistribute it.
Each officer and member answers from the seat they actually hold, so the reading reflects how the weight looks from the East, from the sidelines, and from committee work alike. The result is one shared picture and one practical next step, not a verdict.

How a lodge uses it
Two ways in.
Free self-serve
Open the Lodge reading, complete it in about ten minutes per member, and export results privately. Nothing is required to begin, and the assessment runs on your device.
Sponsored cohort
For bodies that want a guided debrief, Global Mission Support sponsors donor-funded cohorts: a body-level reading, a facilitated conversation, and one ninety-day repair focus — commissioned by your leadership.

Common questions
Is this a test of our members?
No. It reads the structure the body is working through, not the standing or character of any member. The output is a shared conversation starter, not a ranking.
Does it respect how a lodge actually works?
Yes. You choose your body at the start, and the reading uses the officers, lines, and structure appropriate to it. It is commissioned by the lodge’s own leadership, not imposed from outside.
Where does our data go?
The assessment processes data locally in the browser; the reading itself is not sent to a server. Individual scores are withheld from a shared body picture below a minimum group size. See our Privacy Policy.
Is it validated?
Not yet, and we will not claim otherwise. It is a structured self-assessment that gives a directional reading. Building the proof before claiming it is part of how the work is done.
What does it cost?
The self-serve reading is free. Sponsored cohorts with a guided debrief are donor-funded so that cost is not the barrier.
