Our Brethren from Massachusetts put this video together on why men today decide to join the Masonic Fraternity. It is a very well done video that strikes to the point of what Freemasonry is, and why men join The Craft. If you think Freemasonry might be right for you, and. Building Heaven On Earth Below is a great documentary from the BBC, which details the process and spiritual symbolism of the operative stone masons. These same understandings are what came to be the foundation of the Freemasons and speculative masonry.
Above all, Freemasonry (or Masonry) reminds its members that there is more to life than the challenges they face each day. Freemasonry encourages each man to worship and further their relationship with God but it does not dictate a path to salvation, as this is left to a Brothers Church, Temple, Mosque, etc. Freemasonry accepts men of all races and creeds, requiring only three beliefs that most men (and religions) agree upon; a belief in a supreme being, the divine authenticity of the holy scriptures (whatever your faith is), and life after death or the immortality of the soul.
Today, Hillcrest Lodge paid our final respects to Past Master Mark Mueller. Travel Well Brother! You will be missed.
