Freemasonry is an organization whose members are concerned with moral and spiritual values, self-improvement, and helping their
their communities with charitable endeavors. Masons
(synonymous with Freemasons) take oaths to be good to their
Brothers in Masonry, their families, and all people. They are
taught that we are part of the brotherhood of man, under the
fatherhood of God. Freemasonry is
open to men of any race or religion who believe in a Supreme Being and who are judged to be of good reputation and character. It is the inner qualities of men — their characters — that are important, not external
characteristics or indications of wealth or poverty. Thus, Freemasonry is an organization that has a long and proud tradition, that is firmly grounded in important concepts including a belief in God, democracy, charity, toleration, liberty, and equality, not only for Masons but for all mankind.
