Freemasons Open Their Doors to Londoners!

Thanks for the publicity, Huffington Post. In fact Grand Lodge has had an policy of openness since the 1980s, it's just that many people don't seem to have got the message :-(

I wonder when the first post will appear "Strangely enough the Freemasons used to be considered a secret society in the early 21st Century, but since those outside the organisation have begun to realise that they are no more than a harmless fraternal organisation that do a lot for charity (both others and their own) whilst at the same time offering a unique form of self development involving (for example, and not exclusively) team building and leadership skills."

Freemason's charity bid

Openness & Freemasonry

For over twenty years now Freemasonry has had a policy of openness, to try and dispel some of the ridiculous myths that some people have about the order. It was a delight, therefore, to see Metropolitan Grand Lodge participate in the Lord Mayor's Parade in London, yesterday. Furthermore, they actually appeared on the BBC coverage, so well done brethren.

Today Beaumont Lodge in Huddersfield laid a wreath at the memorial in Kirkburton. This is the first time I can remember brethren wearing masonic regalia in the Province of Yorkshire, West Riding. Well done, brethren.

Tributes to long-serving JP, freemason and St John Ambulance stalwart Peter

Yet another example of a Freemason who was obviously a true stalwart of his community; he lived respected and died regretted. Rest in Peace.
