Freemasonry:
Who Are The Masons?

They Are These And More:

Husband, Father, Wage Earner, Jogger, Church Member
 
You try to be your best in all your roles: 
Being a Mason can make you a better man. 

Take a look through these questions and then ask yourself:
"Can joining the Masons help me better myself through service to others?"

What is a Mason?

A Mason is a member of the world's oldest and largest fraternity. Masons join together because:
� They want to do good in the world.
� They want to do good inside their own minds.
� They enjoy being together with other men they like and respect.

What is Masonry?

Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest Fraternity. Its history and tradition date to antiquity. Its singular purpose: to make good men better.

Its bonds of friendship, compassion, and brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military, and religious conflicts, throughout the centuries. Freemasonry is neither a forum, nor a place for worship. It is, however, a friend of all religions which are based on the belief in one God.

Many of our nation's early patriots were Freemasons - as well as 13 signers of the Constitution and 14 Presidents of the United States, beginning with George Washington.

Today, the more than 6 million Freemasons around the world come from virtually every occupation and profession. Within the Fraternity, however, they all meet as equals. They come from diverse political ideologies, and they meet as friends.

They come from virtually every religious belief, and they all believe in one God.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Freemasonry has always been: how so many men, from so many different walks of life, can meet together in peace, never have any political or religious debates, always conduct their affairs in harmony and friendship, and call each other "Brother!"
