What is Freemasonry?

Just what is Freemasonry? It could mean a lot of things, it could mean differently to the individual brother. Masonry to the skeptics is a secret society (it’s not, period!). To a brother it could be a fraternity, to it’s beneficiaries, it’s all about charity, a technical definition could be, Masonry is a progressive moral science. But I guess for something as big and as deep as Freemasonry, defining it would be a very difficult tasks, it’s all that and more (except the secret society part J )

But my favorite definition of Freemasonry is shown in the picture. I took this picture during our multi-district convention last November 17, 2007. It talks about Freemasonry as “a way of life”

From now on, if someone will ask me what is Freemasonry is I will show them this picture. This is my definition of Freemasonry, this is what my fraternity is all about, and this is what I’m trying to live by
