Freemasonry constantly strives to receive trustworthy men into its organisation and through its teachings will assist you to appreciate the friendships and improve society in general. Men like yourself, who we hope will actively participate at our meetings, will enjoy a unique comradeship and develop a confidence in communicating with others that will enable you to put our Masonic ideals to good effect. |

WHAT IS FREEMASONRY?
Freemasonry is one of the oldest and largest fraternal societies in the world.
Þ It will provide you with a code of living in today’s community, based on good moral and ethical standards. Þ It is an organisation of men who try to live by the principles of integrity and goodwill which unifies them, regardless of colour, creed or worldly status. Þ It is a non profit making organisation that is involved in supporting charity and service to the community. Þ It will provide you with a common interest where you can meet and enjoy the company of like minded men from all walks of life. |

WHAT FREEMASONRY IS NOT!
Since its beginning there has been much misinformation published about Freemasonry. For the benefit of every prospective candidate, it is only fair that we give information on what Freemasonry is not and which it has never claimed to be. The most important points are as follows:-
Þ Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. It has a philosophy which we believe is acceptable to every religious institution in the world. Therefore, because there are different ideologies and thoughts in the world and to avoid disharmony, we do not allow religious discussion at our meetings.
Þ Freemasonry is not a secret society. Certain parts of our rituals, which are the methods of recognition, are the only secrets we have. We prefer to keep them available for members only.
Þ Freemasonry is not a benefit society. There are no paid insurance policies to give protection against sickness, death or old age.
Þ Freemasonry is not for promoting social or economic advancement of its members to the prejudice of non-members.
Þ Freemasonry is not connected in any way with a political body or ideals. A Freemason’s political views and beliefs are his own and every lodge will have members who support the many different and divergent political ideologies. For this reason political discussion is not allowed at Masonic assemblies. |
