Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest
Fraternity. Its history and tradition date to antiquity. The singular
purpose of Freemasonry is to make good men better. Over the
centuries,
its bonds of friendship, compassion and brotherly love have survived
even the most divisive political, military and religious conflicts.
Freemasonry is neither a forum, nor a place for worship. Instead, it is
a friend of all religions which are based on the belief in one
God. (Need more information?)
How Does One Become a Mason?
The conditions for membership are few.
Applicants must be adult males,
mentally and physically competent and of good moral character. Masonry
does not solicit or recruit new members. A man seeking Masonic
membership must do so of his own free will and accord. Masons believe
that a man who becomes a Mason of his own personal choice is much more
likely to become a dedicated and productive member.
Once a man decides to seek Masonic membership, he needs only to ask a Mason for
a petition.
