Freemasonry
is one of the world’s oldest and largest non-religious,
non-political, fraternal and charitable organizations. Its
roots lie in the traditions and ceremonies of the medieval
stonemasons, builders of cathedrals and castles.
Freemasonry has always been about making good men better.
Individuals aim to shape their lives around core values
of:
- Integrity: We say what we mean and we keep our
promises.
- Kindness: Although our families come first, we
believe in playing a key role in our communities and
give time and money to charitable ventures.
- Honesty: We pride ourselves on openness, about
what being a Freemason means for us.
- Fairness: We treat everyone as equal – we listen
to others, explore any differences and look for common
ground.
- Tolerance: We respect the opinions of others and
behave with understanding towards them.
