WHAT FREEMASONRY IS : |
||
|
|
|
 |
Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest Fraternity. It's history and tradition date to antiquity. Its singular purpose is to make good men better. Its bonds of friendship, compassion and brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military and religious conflicts through the centuries. Free masonry is neither a place for worship. Instead, it is a friend of all religions which are based on the belief in one God. |

WHO FREEMASONS ARE : |
||||||||
Many of our nation's early patriots were Freemasons, as well as thirteen signers of the Constitution and fourteen Presidents of the United States, beginning with George Washington. Today, the more than four million Freemasons around the world come from virtually every profession. Within the Fraternity, however, they all meet as equals. They come from diverse politic ideologies, but they meet as friends. They come from virtually every religious belief, but they all believe in one God. |
